As the Northeast Resiliency Consortium begins its roll-out, we’ve made it a point to stay on top of infrastructure and systems developed by NYC to help local residents in the wake of future natural disasters. Earlier this year the New York City Office of Emergency Management unveiled the NYC’s post-disaster housing prototype. The structure includes 3 units (2 3-bedroom units and 1 1-bedroom unit) that each have a kitchen, living space, bathroom, storage space and even a balcony! What’s great is that these units have been created so that they can be assembled on site, allowing residents to stay in their communities and not rebuild too quickly (especially helpful in densely urban areas like NYC when development processes change in the wake of natural disasters). A unit has been constructed in Brooklyn Heights and will be on public display within the next few weeks. Take a look at this timelapse of a one being constructed:
