Almost daily since Sandy wreaked havoc on the New York Metropolitan area, the media has carried stories documenting governmental recovery efforts to recover from the aftermath of the storm and protect against future storms. By the end of November, 757 buildings in New York City were tagged as unsafe, and another 6,719 were marked partially uninhabitable.1
Disaster Recovery Centers and other emergency aids were quickly established for residents while several city, state and federal agencies developed a forward action plan to repair buildings and try to prevent future damage from powerful coastal storms. Several of these governmental efforts may have significant implications on land use policies, modifying building and zoning codes that will change the region’s landscape.
