Relief agencies, businesses, and government are banding together with volunteers and local citizens to rebuild communities hit hard by Hurricane Sandy. Here are some of their recovery efforts:
Telling those without power what’s happening on their favorite shows
Electing new government officials to replace waterlogged ones
Investing in one large sandbag instead of wasting time with many small ones
Constructing coastal low-income housing as bulwark against future storms hitting their communities again
Air Wick producing urine-scented aerosol to restore New York City subways to their natural scent
Fortifying coastal sand castles
Reerecting the Avalon Woods condo development from the ground up, except for unit 12-B, where those awful fucking Donaldsons lived
Clearing and replacing downed tree branches with memorial glass tree branches
