Narrow Bay Floodplain Protection and Hazard Mitigation Plan
The State Emergency Management Office (SEMO) provided a Hurricane Hazard Mitigation Grant to the Suffolk County Department of Planning to fund the preparation of a local pre- and post- hurricane property acquisition plan for both vacant and developed parcels in an area that is vulnerable to coastal flooding during severe storm events. Due to funding limitations, this plan was prepared for a portion of the coastal zone in Suffolk County that includes the Narrow Bay floodplain on the Mastic/Shirley peninsula. The prototypical approach used in this plan can be applied to other coastal areas in Suffolk County in the future.
