Flood

New York City has not armored itself from the upcoming floods that it will face. Responding to the article from New York Times “New York is lagging as seas and risks rise, critics warn” by Mireya Navaro, she writes about all the researches we already have to make it a flood proof city, also what we already have done or have not done to make it so and why it has not been done. Navaro writes that Douglas Hill an engineer at Stony Brook University said that instead of planning to be flooded “state and federal agencies should be investing in protection” (Navaro). The people who have authority to make a change are the state and federal agencies so instead of planning they should be investing towards making a change. I agree with what they are saying because we are just wasting our money and time on researches and planning and doing nothing to save ourselves and our city where we reside in. We need to focus on our researches that we already have to make it a flood prove city, then we can move on to other issues like reduce polluting carbon dioxide which is actually causing our sea levels to rise and the floods.
