New York City declared a drought warning on Monday, its first in 22 years, as the Northeast deals with severe dry conditions and brush fires during a historically dry autumn. The last drought warning in New York City was issued in 2002. Under a warning city agencies adopt drought protocols and voluntary water conservation is encouraged for New Yorkers. New York City's water supply needs almost 8 inches of rain to reach normal levels, officials said. Kathy Hochul also declared a statewide drought watch on Monday citing “a historic shortage of rainfall” and elevated 15 counties in the Mid-Hudson region and New York City, to a drought warning.

That's how much the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers thinks it will take to protect the New York City area from coastal storms. Plan 3B offers the "best bang for the buck," said Bryce Wisemiller, a project manager for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' New York District. He said this is the most cost-effective plan to protect the region from storms that are likely to happen only once in 100 years. Residents can explore the 3B plan, as well as suggested plans 2, 3A, 4 and 5, at the Army Corps' interactive website.
