Why New York City’s recovery from Hurricane Sandy still isn’t finished

from POLITICO Energy · host POLITICO

It’s been almost a decade since Hurricane Sandy devastated several Northeastern states, causing nearly $82 billion in damages and over 100 deaths. And according to a new report, New York City, which was one of the hardest hit places, has only spent nearly a quarter of the $15 billion it received in emergency relief. POLITICO’s Danielle Muoio Dunn breaks down why the recovery efforts in New York are taking so long and what city officials are recommending to not only recover but also prepare for the next storm. Plus, FERC Chair Richard Glick says he's optimistic he'll get a confirmation hearing by the end of the year because of reassurances from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and the White House.   Josh Siegel is an energy reporter for POLITICO.  Danielle Muoio Dunn is a City Hall reporter for POLITICO New York Nirmal Mulaikal is a POLITICO audio host-producer.  Raghu Manavalan is a senior editor for POLITICO audio.
