NEW YORK - Amid the clanging of dump trucks, a crane with a clamshell scoop hoisted a pile of debris as big as a minivan and dropped it onto a waiting barge -- striking evidence that New York City has revived a place it just cannot seem to do without.

The Fresh Kills landfill on Staten Island, where tons of debris were dumped after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, once again has been enlisted in the aftermath of a disaster, this time to serve as the staging area for the monumental cleanup job underway since superstorm Sandy hit. Again and again, that scoop plunges into a three-story hill of debris and lifts out pulverized drywall, floorboards, furniture, clothing, photo albums.

For Pet Owners Left Homeless by Hurricane, a Temporary Home for the Animals

Mon, 2012-11-19 09:52 — LuLu2012

 

This is April! I got this started and Big Joe found volunteers to take April and her fellow dog to the shelter. Jim, neighbor of St Francis, is mentioned in here. The article says he called for help and two weeks later it came, but actually of course it was me, Joe, and VERT who made this happen yesterday. ~ Janice Dean

Critical Infrastructure Resilience: What we can learn from Hurricane Sandy

Sun, 2012-11-18 20:38 — Kathy Gilbeaux

cnponline.org - by Chris Beck - November 14, 2012

More than a week after Hurricane Sandy ravaged the East coast, residents along with local, state, and federal officials, and electricity, water, and other critical infrastructure sectors are still struggling to recover and rebuild from the devastation.  As an American, I worry about my fellow citizens in the storm-ravaged areas.  I applaud the heroic efforts to rebuild lives and communities and hope they will be successful and be completed as quickly as possible.

As CNP's new fellow for Homeland Security and Resilience, it is important to me to examine the effects of the storm and to ask whether our national policies regarding natural disasters and other catastrophic scenarios are appropriate and of substantial rigor.  This post is not intended to "Monday morning quarterback" the preparedness or response to this storm, but to highlight some lessons that can be learned and policies that should be examined and strengthened going forward to increase our resilience against future events.

Here's my photo montage photographed yesterday 11/17 in the Rockaways, New York, 3 weeks after Hurricane Sandy, on a sunny Saturday afternoon. This is not another damage assessment video, it is about the people. Our mission was to meet with Chris and Cat, the Rapid Response Team from Humanity Road, who, together with other volunteers, had been supporting Monsignor Brown in the St. Francis de Sales Parish from the Church in Belle Harbor since the immediate aftermath.

"Yet amidst the devastation, angels walk. Here are just three whom I know personally, out of numerous individuals and organizations who heard the cry for help and came flying. I'm so impressed with what these everyday heroes have accomplished and how they serve as inspiration for us all" ~ MeiMei Fox
