NYCEM Interim Flood Protection Measures (IFPM) Site Tour

Initiated in 2016, NYC Emergency Management’s (NYCEM) Interim Flood Protection Measures (IFPM) program was created to provide temporary, deployable flood risk reduction at critical City facilities and low-lying neighborhoods. To date, IFPM have been designed and installed at over 50 sites. This approximately 1.5 miles walking tour will include an overview of the IFPM program’s flood risk-reduction goals and strategies, program design considerations and considerations distinctive to these sites, as well as a general introduction to coastal storm planning and response operations. With climate change increasing sea level rise, hurricane frequency, and flood risk, IFPM is a near-term solution as the City works towards more long-term resilience.

Tour Guides

The tour will be guided by NYCEM’S Kenny Isufi, Resiliency Operations Program Manager, and Marguerite Lally, Resiliency Operations Specialist.
