Join GreenHomeNYC during Climate Week for a retrospective on Superstorm Sandy, exploring how the New York City metro area was forever changed by an unprecedented disaster. Fourteen years ago, the region faced the harsh reality of its vulnerability to extreme weather, sparking massive recovery efforts like the Build It Back program to repair neighborhoods and fortify infrastructure.
Expert speakers will break down the storm's impact across specific neighborhoods and individual buildings, evaluating the repairs and preventative measures implemented since. The conversation will also examine the broader landscape of climate funding and government intervention required to safeguard NYC's future against escalating climate threats.
