Ok People here’s the deal

Yesterdays meetings were addressing the lack actual help getting to all the communities in the effected areas efficiently and bypassing the NGO’s who have dug in, come and gone leaving in their wake a false sense to outsiders that everything is resolved. 

It’s not.

69. Breezy Point (Gateway National Recreation Area)

Had you planned a visit to Breezy Point before the Civil War you would have been in for a surprise. It did not exist! All the land west of the vicinity of Jacob Riis Park has formed within a little more than a century (Figure 184). This is largely because of the construction of a groin field to protect the beaches at Fort Tilden, and the placement of the Breezy Point jetty to prevent the filling of Rockaway Inlet. The sand has been contributed naturally by the westward longshore drift along the south shore of Long Island, particularly the Rockaway barrier island and sources offshore.

In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, the ASPCA has opened a temporary, emergency pet boarding facility. Pet owners who are currently unable to care for their animals due to Hurricane Sandy can place them in this temporary boarding facility, now through Monday, December 17. Intake hours are 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. 
You can visit your pet daily and pick up at any time!
Call the hotline to schedule: (347) 573-1561

One couple in Queens' storm-ravaged Breezy Point neighborhood lost a $25,000 coin collection to thieves.

NEW YORK — Some residents of a New York City neighborhood that suffered fire and flooding during Superstorm Sandy say thieves looted their damaged houses over Thanksgiving.

The New York Post reports that thieves struck at least three homes in the Breezy Point section of Queens.

New York State will hire more than 5,000 unemployed residents in temporary positions to help clean up debris and distribute supplies in areas stricken by Hurricane Sandy, the Cuomo administration announced on Sunday.

The jobs will pay roughly $15 an hour and could last as long as six months. They will be available to residents in the communities that were most affected by the storm, including areas of New York City, Long Island and the Lower Hudson Valley.

State officials said that hiring would be focused on young people as well as the long-term unemployed, and that the positions would be financed by a grant of nearly $28 million from the federal government.
