One Month In: New Jersey’s Road to Recovery from Sandy

Thirty-five days have passed since Hurricane Sandy first made landfall on the New Jersey coast on October 29th. As we move past this one month milestone, my primary focus remains on these people – the survivors of the storm. When families and businesses begin to recover, whole communities begin to recover, and that is how New Jersey will revive and become stronger than ever.

New York, One Month After Sandy

New York is an amazing place, made up of different people from all over the world. Every neighborhood is distinctly unique, with different traditions, dialects and sense of community. In the response phase of a disaster like this, we focus on the “four Ps” – “People, Power, Pumping and Pick-it-up” - and we still have more work to do.

Written testimony of FEMA Administrator for a Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Homeland Security field hearing titled “Hurricane Isaac - Assessing preparedness, response, and recovery efforts”.

At a field hearing in Gretna, Louisiana, Federal Emergency Management Agency Administrator Craig Fugate addresses the preparations that took place before Hurricane Isaac made landfall, the coordinated response that took place during the storm and is continuing today, and the recovery efforts that lay ahead.
