Resumen de Storm of the century every two years.
The article discusses why the U.S. East Coast and New York City (NYC) must take action to protect itself against superstorms, such as 2012's Superstorm Sandy, or face devastating consequences. Topics include the damage to NYC's transit system from Sandy's storm surge, the economic impact of Superstorm Sandy on East Coast communities, and climate scientists predictions for severe flooding in NYC one in two each year by 2100. Also discussed are various protective measures, which includes moving communities out of the lowest-lying areas, the use of sand deposits along beaches to protect coastlines, discontinuing flood insurance subsidies to encourage people to move from vulnerable areas, and the East Coast's vulnerability to sea level rise.
