From storms that disrupt daily life to flash floods that threaten homes and infrastructure, the impacts of heavy rainfall are becoming increasingly frequent and severe. In response, Rebuild by Design launched of “Rainproof [Your Community’s Name],” a new initiative supporting 10 partner projects around NYC with $10,000 each to nine community partners. This initiative aims to support ongoing or new innovative projects that adopt and implement the recommendations and guiding principles from the Rainproof NYC Working Group process. Together, we are working to adapt Rainproof NYC’s citywide recommendations to localized action to mitigate the impacts of heavy rain.
