This 81 page document is titled Guidance for Community Reconstruction Zone Plans. It provides a lot of detailed planning guidance.
The source is an organization called NY Rising, which is a State-sponsored organization. More details are available at this website.
NOTE: See comment by Dr. Tom Phelan re potential importance of this new approach to recovery.
Thanks for providing the additional information. Seems to be that you point out an issued that should be studied. I hope some young researchers out there will track the change.
The CRZ or Preparation of a Cummunity Reconstruction Zone Plan seems to be New York State’s compliance with the National Disaster Recovery Framework. It explains why the governor and HUD recently offered up to $31k for individual assistance when the summer flooding did not provide individual assistance as part of a Presidential declaration (just for public assistance). This appears to be a shift from federal funding to state funding for disaster relief and recovery. The stipulations the NYS governor put on funding is a bit restrictive. A recipient of individual assistance must remain in the affected residence for three years following receipt of funds, purchase flood insurance (regardless of cost), among other stipulations. Are we seeing a return to local control and pressure on home and business owners to be more careful when selecting a location for building?
