Community Flood Action Toolkit
The Community Flood Action Toolkit was designed and distributed for FloodHelpNY, a project of The Center for NYC Neighborhoods.
Goal: Educate homeowners about the actions they can take to prepare for and mitigate the rising risk of stormwater flooding of New York City.
Role: Project management, content and graphic design, printing, distribution.
Audience: NYC homeowners in areas with a history of inland flooding.
Tactics: Translation to 6 languages, digital distribution through social media and paid advertising, targeted print distribution to community partners and libraries in the New York City, Brooklyn, and Queens public library systems.
Impact: Initial printing of 10,000 copies distributed to targeted community partners and 30 library branches in high-risk stormwater flooding areas across all five boroughs.
FloodHelpNY and the Community Flood Action Toolkit are funded through the New York Governor’s Office of Storm Recovery and New York Rising and FEMA through the Mayor’s Office of Climate and Environmental Justice/Housing Preservation Development.
