Title: Co-Producing Adaptation to Flooding in Urban Communities: A Case Study of Rockaway Peninsula in New York City

Abstract
New York City (NYC) is experiencing rapidly growing flood risk as sea levels rise. Despite public investments in protection, communities will continue to face residual flood risk. Few residents and neighborhood businesses have begun to adapt to flooding. This study uses a rigorous program evaluation methodology to assess how effectively co-production of knowledge about flood adaptation options motivates residents to adapt relative to a simpler approach that NYC has been pursuing through online communication and neighborhood workshops. The co-production process uses unique primary data from prior surveys to document actual costs of recovery from flooding in the region, to build residents’ capacity to analyze financial costs and benefits of adaptation.
