Vision 4: Our Resilient City

CONFIDENTIAL2

Hurricane SandySandy was the worst natural disaster New York City has ever seen.

44 lives lost

$19 billion in damages and lost economic activity

51 square miles (17% of NYC land mass) flooded

88,700 buildings were inundated, including 23,400 businesses

2,000,000 people lost power, many for weeks and longer

Major disruptions to lives, neighborhoods, and infrastructure demonstrated our vulnerabilities to coastal storms and the risks of a changing climate.

By the 2050s: 4.1oF to 5.7oF increase in average temperature 4% to 11% increase in average annual precipitation Sea levels likely to rise 1-2 ft.; maybe 2½ ft.By 2100: High-end projections may reach 6 ft.

By the 2050s: Number of days in NYC above 90⁰ could triple

Even today: 100-year floodplain expanded by 17 square miles (51%) citywide;

2.3 ft. average increase in 100-year flood elevations; will increase with further sea level rise; now encompasses 71,500 structures

The NYC Panel on Climate Change (NPCC) projects increased chronic climate hazards…

…and increased impact from extreme weather events.

Climate Change / 21st Century ThreatsBut we know that Sandy is not the only risk we face. We must grapple with the impacts of climate change on our city...
