City of New Rochelle, New York, As Seen from the Air in 1938
CITY OF NEW ROCHELLE, NEW YORK, AS SEEN FROM THE AIR IN 1938. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE By HERBERT B. NICHOLS Published Bv, THE BOARD OF EDUCATION NEW ROCHELLE/ NEW YORK 1938 COPYRIGHT 1938 BY HERBERT B. NICHOLS FIRST EDITION PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA THE LITTLE PRINT, NEW ROCHELLE, N. Y. HISTORIC NEW ROCHELLE FOREWORD To the publication ~f a little booklet designed for classroom use throughout the public schools of New Rochelle treating of sig nificant events in the historic development of the city, impetus was given early this year by the observance of the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the fou~ding of the "Queen City of the Sound". Preparation at th~t tiine for a pageant revealed that only isolated bits of historic materials were available and that nowhere I was there in print, suitable for school use, a concise and orderly treatment of the circumstances and conditions that led, first, to the selection of a site for refuge for. the fleeing French Huguenots and, later, to its settlement and dev,elopnient. To meet the deficiency, a committee was entrusted with the responsibility of assembling, preparing and editing all known information. How well that job was done "Historic New Rochelle" reveals. Not a booklet, but a full-sized text, scholarly, well organized, care fully and authentically documented, and yet, withal, attractively written, interestingly and entertainingly presented, is here given the girls and boys, their parents, the teaching staff, and others who may be interested. In the pages and chapters which follow, environ ment becomes a living reality and the reader is privileged to follow, from t}:le beginning to the present, the colorful and intricate threads that make up the historic and fascinating tapestry of New Rochelle. -

Section 5.4.5: Risk Assessment – Earthquake
SECTION 5.4.5: RISK ASSESSMENT – EARTHQUAKE 5.4.5 EARTHQUAKE This section provides a profile and vulnerability assessment for the earthquake hazard. HAZARD PROFILE This section provides profile information including description, extent, location, previous occurrences and losses and the probability of future occurrences. Description An earthquake is the sudden movement of the Earth’s surface caused by the release of stress accumulated within or along the edge of the Earth’s tectonic plates, a volcanic eruption, or by a manmade explosion (Federal Emergency Management Agency [FEMA], 2001; Shedlock and Pakiser, 1997). Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries where the Earth’s tectonic plates meet (faults); however, less than 10 percent of earthquakes occur within plate interiors. New York is in an area where plate interior-related earthquakes occur. As plates continue to move and plate boundaries change over geologic time, weakened boundary regions become part of the interiors of the plates. These zones of weakness within the continents can cause earthquakes in response to stresses that originate at the edges of the plate or in the deeper crust (Shedlock and Pakiser, 1997). The location of an earthquake is commonly described by its focal depth and the geographic position of its epicenter. The focal depth of an earthquake is the depth from the Earth’s surface to the region where an earthquake’s energy originates (the focus or hypocenter). The epicenter of an earthquake is the point on the Earth’s surface directly above the hypocenter (Shedlock and Pakiser, 1997). Earthquakes usually occur without warning and their effects can impact areas of great distance from the epicenter (FEMA, 2001). -

To be sure, Mr. Henry M.

There were terse tran scripts of some of their meetings, but these were :iot much aid to gropers in the dark.

Davids Island
davidsstudy for the city ofisland new rochelle city of new rochelle/kpf/arup/sbi october 11, 20111 davids island 2 3 letter from mayor noam bramson For almost two generations, Davids Island has both enchanted and bedeviled New Rochelle. It is easy to understand why. There is nothing quite like it: a nearly eighty-acre blank canvas, situated within the largest and most densely populated metropolitan area in America, visible from nearly every portion of our coastline and owned by the people of New Rochelle. But while Davids Island has inspired grand plans, all have faltered in the face of economic, environmental or political obstacles. Today, half a century after the closure of Fort Slocum, the island’s future remains unsettled – its potential for public enjoyment and benefit, like the island itself, just out of reach. In September 2010, New Rochelle opened a new chapter in Davids Island’s history. Determined to avoid the mistakes of the past, the City resolved neither to advance concepts without first testing their value and viability, nor to react to concepts without first establishing a homegrown, community-supported vision. Acting on this new strategy was a volunteer Task Force composed of neighborhood representatives, development experts, environmental advocates and public officials from various levels of government. Together, the Task Force members reflected the spectrum of perspectives that have traditionally had an interest in – and often clashed over – Davids Island. The fact that the Task Force was able to work collaboratively and collegially is, in itself, evidence that historic divisions can be overcome in favor of a fresh consensus.
