Exciting! The FloodNet project is expanding, growing the network to over 500 sensors in the coming years to track real-time flood data in NYC. We're looking forward to seeing even more crucial data in the dashboard we built for this amazing project.

The @NYCComptroller released an important report today about an often overlooked part of resilience: strong communities. We were happy to share our ideas for this report, but the main voices were EJ and community orgs that need more resources and shared governance.
