Superstorm Sandy devastated coastal New York and New Jersey damaging critical public and private infrastructure and leaving many New Yorkers vulnerable. The City of New York’s preparation and immediate response to Hurricane Sandy was one of the largest mobilizations of public services in its history, and demonstrated the dedication of the City’s workforce and the perseverance of New Yorkers to recover and rebuild. Now, 10 years later as New York City is still grappling with the aftermath, ABNY and RPA are partnering to discuss lessons learned from Hurricane Sandy and address the path forward.
