New York currently has two Alliance For Response Networks: New York Capital Region AFR and Alliance for Response New York City.

New York Capital Region Alliance for Response

The severe flooding of 2006 and Hurricane Irene and Tropical Storm Lee in 2011 challenged the New York Capital Region and strengthened the resolve to build a broad, multi-county network and partnerships to better serve constituents when they’re in need. The New York Capital Region AFR is designed to forge county-level networks encompassing the counties of Albany, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and Saratoga.
