Mark Carabetta from SLR Consulting presented on Resilient NY, a New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and Office of General Services-funded program to conduct watershed-based flood studies to improve community resilience to extreme weather. Each study identifies causes of flooding within a specific watershed, evaluates potential flood mitigation projects using hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and develops recommendations for effective implementation projects. The studies can fulfill Climate Smart Communities PE7 Action: Watershed-based Flood Mitigation Plan. To date, 34 studies have been completed throughout New York State, with more planned.

The Hudson River Watershed Alliance’s fall 2023 breakfast lecture series focuses on water and watershed-related Climate Smart Communities case studies. Climate Smart Communities (CSC) is a New York State program that helps local governments take action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and adapt to a changing climate. The CSC certification program includes a wide range of actions, and municipalities can receive points for many different types of water-related projects.
