Five Lessons About Disaster Recovery From Hurricane Sandy

On Oct. 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy tore through the eastern coast of the United States, causing heavy damage to the New Jersey coastline and New York City.

On Oct. 30, the superstorm left 8 million Americans without power, thousands without homes, highways closed, and subway systems flooded. Sandy’s 90 mph winds spanned more than 1,100 miles, making it the largest Atlantic hurricane on record. At least 125 deaths and $63 billion (and counting) in economic losses were left in the hurricane’s wake.
