Describe the challenge you want to address:

More than a decade after Hurrican Sandy, we are still dealing with the aftermath of it -- still repairing subways and shorelines and dozens of people lost their lives. We haven't done enough to prepare ourselves for the next climate disaster -- hurricanes, flooding, heat waves, drought. We don't know what we can do better.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Study how parks and librarians can be used for climate resilience.
Most neighborhoods have access to parks and libraries.
How can libraries help serve as shelter or a source of education?
How can parks be adapted to serve as natural infrastructure?
