What changes were made since the hurricane sandy struck New York/the aftermath?
A lot of changes were made since the hurricane sandy struck. Homes and lands were surrounded by washed up sand. A lot of programs were made to support the people who had lost their homes. A lot of different programmes were also made to prepare people for the next time something like this happened. United States, the country is struggling to decide not only how to rebuild and heal, but also how to mitigate the losses both personal and national borne as a result of such disasters. In the months following Hurricane Sandy's ravishment of communities in the Northeast, scientists vocally predicted the beginning of a "super storm" in the U.S., as "bigger storms and higher sea levels" are expected to "pile on to create a growing threat in the coming decades". After Hurricane Katrina, Bowman recommended that a surge protection barrier (referred to as the outer harbour gateway project) be constructed to protect New York City from a super storm. Such a project would cost up to $20 billion. Barack Obama decided that campaigns should run in New York city to help people who have lost their homes, and who were killed.
