Post Hurricane Sandy Round-up

Updated November 6th

Preparedness

NYTimes science section has an article on weather person and blogger Bryan Norcross who discusses NOAA’s guidelines, warnings and  Mayor Bloomberg's press conferences.

AWARE, a blog about best practices for emergency alerts and warnings, looked at the role of IPAWS / CMAS and social media before and during the Hurricane.

Impact

HHS's Public Health Emergency (PHE.gov) has an updated-daily situation overview of the federal government's public health response.

ReliefWeb.int is a great resource that aggregates data / news from organizations on the ground during international emergencies. Their overview of Hurricane Sandy includes information about the impact of the storm in the Caribbean.

Resilience and Recovery

NPR Science Friday interviewed Randy Horton of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Andrew C. Revkin, who writes the Dot Earth blog at NYTimes, about recovery efforts, climate change, and some thoughts on how rebuild.
