Description

In October 2012, Hurricane Sandy struck the East Coast with incredible power and fury, wreaking havoc in communities across the region. More than 650,000 homes were damaged or destroyed and hundreds of thousands of businesses were damaged or forced to close at least temporarily. Infrastructure was torn apart. It was clear that the region faced a long, hard road back. That is why President Obama established the Hurricane Sandy Rebuilding Task Force, which works hand-in-hand with communities to help them rebuild smarter and better by providing the best data about the risks they face, setting clear resilience standards to help protect against those risks, and bringing a wide range of stakeholders together to foster innovative ideas and ensure a comprehensive regional approach to rebuilding. This Rebuilding Strategy establishes guidelines for the investment of the Federal funds made available for recovery and sets the region on the path to being built back smarter and stronger. Figures. This is a print on demand report.
