More than six months after Superstorm Sandy ravaged the tri-state region, questions remain regarding our infrastructure, our disaster response capabilities and what the future holds. The massive storm – which flooded thousands of homes, cut power to millions of people, and claimed over 100 lives – was the second costliest storm in US history after Hurricane Katrina, with damages estimated between $50 and $60 billion. But beyond the structural damages and subsequent costs, nearly everyone living in New York City, Long Island and New Jersey was affected. WNET/Thirteen (New York City), WLIW21 (Long Island), and NJTV (New Jersey), along with other public television stations and local print and radio partners will address community issues and concerns and seek out answers in a multi-platform live two-hour town-hall broadcast with studio audiences at Monmouth University and the Tisch WNET Studios at Lincoln Center. Panelists will include experts in engineering, real estate, transportation, infrastructure and power, building codes, climate change, non-profits and charities, and government representatives from local mayors to state and federal officials.
The costs of maintaining our region’s infrastructure and rebuilding post – Sandy are indeed staggering. Although the future is uncertain and the task of improving our disaster response systems is daunting, Superstorm Sandy: A Live Town Hall will have content that will challenge all of us to find solutions.

We encourage our live and online audiences to participate and question our experts on topics ranging from overall costs of infrastructural investments, insurance/individual burdens for future storms, FEMA and government responses how they were during Sandy and what needs to improve, post-Sandy building codes, climate changes — regional effects to questions of our communities ability to deal with future storms financially and socially among other topics.

Why are the 2nd-home owners being discriminated against for the benefits? They pay the same property tax and all other fees as other homeowners and their damages were the same. If they do not get the entitled benefit, does this mean their property tax will be reduced, too?
