Hurricane Sandy Information


It is quite a paradox, while New York City and New Jersey were hardest hit by the Hurricane that some argue is a result of the evolving global warmth trends, New York City is one of the first cities in the nation to begin studies on the effects of climate change to it's infrastructure and services.

This page offers links to papers, maps, or documents on climate change or the effects of Hurricane Sandy on New York City.
