• NEW YORK COMMUNITIES AFTER SANDY crowd-sourcing MAP

  November 9th, 2012

  This crowd-sourcing MAP is a platform to document short term community needs as well as long-term issues of the kind that were seen in New Orleans following Katrina—e.g., families being displaced by the activities of vulture developers. It draws attention to those directly affected by the hurricane but ignored by our society and to serve as a method of collecting and centralizing data from the community members and volunteers that have been active in the relief efforts.

  A major Nor’easter coming this week will impact the region devastated by Hurricane Sandy .

  November 5th, 2012

  A major nor’easter will impact the region devastated by Hurricane Sandy this coming week. Based on the latest data and forecast model guidance, it is clear that a strong low pressure system will develop off the southeast US coast and head north, bringing wind-whipped precipitation to a region that definitely doesn’t need it. The forecast specifics still need to resolve over the next day or two, but it appears several hazards will present themselves to the region. Even the most ominous forecast solution for the upcoming week is no where near the intensity and severity of Hurricane Sandy. But because the area is so much more vulnerable to bad weather than ever before, it’s important for us to pay close attention to the forecast and prepare for the possibilities of additional storm damage. The added threat of wintry weather and colder temperatures is also something to factor in, especially in areas that lack electricity and/or heat. As currently forecast, conditions would degrade across the Hurricane Sandy impact area on Wednesday with the storm arriving on Thursday. While some forecast models suggest the storm will slow or stall, the storm should exit the northeast by Friday.
