Hurricane Sandy Recovery Efforts

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
