    Section 9.12: City of Buffalo 9.12 City of Buffalo This section presents the jurisdictional annex for the City of Buffalo. It includes resources and information to assist public and private sectors to reduce losses from future hazard events. This annex is not guidance of what to do when a disaster occurs. Rather, this annex concentrates on actions that can be implemented prior to a disaster to reduce or eliminate damage to property and people. This annex includes a general overview of the municipality and who in the city participated in the planning process; an assessment of the City of Buffalo’s risk and vulnerability; the different capabilities utilized in the city; and an action plan that will be implemented to achieve a more resilient community. 9.12.1 Hazard Mitigation Planning Team The following individuals have been identified as the City of Buffalo’s hazard mitigation plan primary and alternate points of contact. The City of Buffalo followed the planning process described in Section 3 (Planning Process) in Volume I of this plan update. This annex was developed over the course of several months with input from many city departments, including: Buffalo Fire Department Division Chief and Commissioner Department of Public Works. The Fire Department Division Chief represented the community on the Erie County Hazard Mitigation Plan Planning Partnership and Steering Committee, and supported the local planning process requirements by securing input from persons with specific knowledge to enhance the plan. All departments were asked to contribute to the annex development through reviewing and contributing to the capability assessment, reporting on the status of previously identified actions, and participating in action identification and prioritization.

  • Labor Takes the High Road
    MARCH 2019 Labor Takes the High Road: How Unions Make Western New York More Prosperous and Equitable EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Healthcare workers meeting to prepare for collective bargaining. Musicians in Rehearsal, Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra Introduction: Unions are Vital to a Healthy Community The labor movement makes Western New York a better place for all its residents. Research demonstrates conclusively that unions raise wages and benefits for the region’s workers, and they make workplaces more safe, healthy, and fair – reducing turnover and offering workers a voice. But the impact of organized labor reaches far beyond individual workplaces. Through community service, civic engagement, worker assistance, workforce development, and public policy advocacy, union members build the “high road” that makes the entire community more Teacher and Students, Art Class, prosperous, united, and inclusive. Lafayette International High School Two overarching aspects of unions make them uniquely important to a healthy region. First, they are democratic institutions, with leaders elected by members; this makes them partic- ularly responsive to the needs and goals of working people, and it also makes them training Snapshot of the 16 Million grounds for democratic participation in other areas of public life. Second, they are intensively Union Members in the collaborative, constantly seeking win-win resolutions. Union members want the companies where they work to succeed, and they want their local economies to grow and flourish. In a United States Today time where many Americans are concerned about polarization, the lack of civic cohesion, and the vulnerability of the working class, unions have an unmatched ability to bring people 46% together around the shared values of equality, justice, and opportunity.

  • 2. Erie Canal
    ERIE CANAL The largest of the four canals that make up the NYS Canal System, the Erie Canal was built between 1817 and 1825 and traversed 363 miles from Albany to Buffalo. It was the longest artificial waterway and the greatest public works project in North America. The canal put New York on the map as the Empire State—the leader in population, industry, and economic strength. It transformed New York City into the nation’s principal seaport and opened the interior of North America to settlement. Equally important, the Erie Canal became a central element forging our national identity. Built with a combination of vision, determination, ingenuity, and hard work, the Erie Canal solidified these central elements of our American character. It’s here you’ll find engineering marvels, historic vessels and canal sites, and lively Main Streets, along with great recreational opportunities and hundreds of festivals and events. As you travel, you’ll discover that each region has its own distinctive flavor. Visit more than one, or go “end to end” to enjoy it all. MORE INFORMATION about exploring the canal and its history as well as supporting the preservation and heritage initiatives along the water, is available at ericanalway.org. MORE INFORMATION about navigating the canal system, can be found at canals.ny.gov. 28 NEW YORK STATE CANALWAY WATER TRAIL GUIDEBOOK | eriecanalway.org Erie Canal–Buffalo BUFFALO Commercial Slip, Canalside, Buffalo Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation Explore New York’s second-largest city, one for self-propelled vessels, shifted the point of that was transformed when the Erie Canal entry from Buffalo to Tonawanda, about 14 opened in 1825.
