New York Assemblymember Nily Rozic’s Flood Prevention Efforts

Idea Category: Climate Change, Environment

New York Assemblymember Nily Rozic is championing policy to strengthen flood prevention efforts, responding to the growing threat of climate change and heavy rainfall overwhelming infrastructure. At a recent press conference, she advocated for her Rain Ready NY Act (A7467), which would empower water and sewer authorities to better manage stormwater and build climate-resilient systems. “Flooding has become a persistent crisis that threatens homes, disrupts communities, and endangers lives. As climate change accelerates, we must act now to provide water and sewer authorities with the tools they need to build resilient, future-proof infrastructure. The Rain Ready Act offers a pragmatic solution, and I am proud to stand alongside my colleagues in government, environmental advocates, and community leaders in advocating for the investments our state urgently needs,” said Rozic.
