The Latest. Resilience in the Wake of Superstorm Sandy. Main Content. The study reveals the importance of social factors such as neighborhood bonds and social supports in coping with the storm and its aftermath. Striking landfall in the United States on October 29, , Superstorm Sandy affected large areas of coastal New York and New Jersey, devastated communities, killed more than people, and caused tens of billions of dollars in property damage. These crucial social bonds are often overlooked as policy discussions tend to focus on the role that official institutions have in fostering resilience.
The survey had two central objectives: 1 To systematically measure the impact of the storm on individuals and neighborhoods and to assess the level of recovery six months after the storm. Critical findings of the survey include: The most important sources of help before, during, and after the storm were friends, family, and neighbors, with first responders seen as equally important in the affected regions.
Organized charities such as The Salvation Army, and food banks as well as relief organizations like the Red Cross were seen as very helpful and important in the wake of the storm in the regions most affected by the storm. By contrast State and federal governments and utility companies were seen as significantly less helpful by those in the affected region.
Residents of the region affected by Sandy report extensive impacts beyond the physical damage, including prolonged effects on daily living and social relationships, with many individuals and neighborhoods continuing to struggle. The storm brought out the best in neighbors, with reports of many people sharing access to power, food and water, and providing shelter.
