The Resilient Red Hook (RRH) group grew out of a NYS-funded program NY Rising which was a response to hurricanes Ira, Lee and Sandy. PortSide's ED Carolina Salguero was one of the appointed members of NY Rising and in RRH for a several years after NY Rising completed the NYS-funded work.

After completing the state-funded work in Spring 2014, some NY Rising people kept meeting, led by Gita Nandan and rebranded as Resilient Red Hook (RRH.)
