NEW YORK COMMISSION REPORT

NYS2100 Commission Report is response to the recent, and unprecedented, severe weather events experienced by New York State and the surrounding region: most recently, Superstorm Sandy, Hurricane Irene, and Tropical Storm Lee. This report examines and evaluates key vulnerabilities in the State’s critical infrastructure systems, and recommends actions that should be taken to strengthen and improve the resilience of those systems. The report proposes that "If done right, we have a tremendous opportunity not only to mitigate future damage and subsequent economic losses, but to invigorate New York’s economy with a robust green technology sector and to enhance quality-of-life for all New Yorkers".
