Global Green and National Grid partner on climate disaster preparedness for NYC

According to a report published by the Zurich based reinsurance company, Swiss Re, in 2014, the next storm that hits New York will be even more massive than Super Storm Sandy, with damage well north of the billions of dollars, reports the Examiner.  Mexico is still breathing a collective sigh of relief that the danger posed from Hurricane Patricia last week was not as brutal as originally predicted. The lessons learned from Katrina and Sandy have taken hold, and more attention is being given to preparedness and fortifying infrastructure against future storms.

To that end, Global Green and National Grid held an education event in Far Rockaway on Wednesday, October 21st, to announce their partnership to create climate resilient disaster preparedness hubs for New York area communities impacted by Superstorm Sandy.
