New York prepped for storms but warnings were slow to act
Longstanding New York state and city efforts warned of a coast storm with surge, flooding and power losses. A 1978 law created a Disaster Preparedness Commission to plan temporary housing and service restoration, yet budget limits and political will left many actions incomplete before Sandy. Gov Cuomo now faces federal aid needs and reviews poststorm preparedness, while officials reassess codes, evacuation zones and coastal protections.
