  • Lessons Learned from Hurricane Sandy and Recommendations for Improved Healthcare and Public Health Response and Recovery for Future Catastrophic Events
    Lessons Learned from Hurricane Sandy and Recommendations for Improved Healthcare and Public Health Response and Recovery for Future Catastrophic Events Final Report December 22, 2015 Lessons Learned from Hurricane Sandy and Recommendations for Improved Healthcare and Public Health Response and Recovery for Future Catastrophic Events BACKGROUND A “classic late-season…extraordinarily large hurricane,” 1 Sandy was the 18th named tropical cyclone of the 2012 Atlantic hurricane season. It made landfall along the mid-Atlantic coast near Atlantic City, NJ about 6:30 pm on October 29, 2012 as a Category 1 hurricane with 80- mph maximum sustained winds. But due to its extensive breadth (winds above 40 mph (tropical storm force) stretched 900 miles), Sandy’s real damage was done by a calamitous storm surge that merged with a high tide to produce a storm surge, primarily pounding the New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut coastlines (Figure 1). The United States Geological Survey measured water levels on Staten Island, New York at almost eight feet above ground level. Even after the storm moved on, it impacted inland states, including Ohio, West Virginia, and Indiana, with high winds, soaking rains, and even heavy snow in the Appalachians. 2,3 Very High: > 10,000 people exposed to surge High: 500 – 10,000 people exposed to surge OR > $100 million in wind damage OR > 8” rain Moderate: 100 – 500 people exposed to surge OR $10 - $100 million in wind damage OR 4” - 8” rain Low: no surge impacts OR < $10 million in wind damage OR < 4” rain Figure 1. 2 FEMA Hurricane Sandy Impact Analysis The consequences of the storm’s destructive power were significant.
