Remembering Hurricane Sandy 2 Years Later
A mother paces her damaged home with her young daughter, the strain and desperation building in her voice as she details the red tape and road blocks that stand between her and rebuilding.
An elderly woman living without heat or electricity describes why she's staying through the cold and dark, with winter approaching, in the apartment she's lived in for 70 years.
These remarkable stories and more are part of Katrina/Sandy, an interactive timeline produced by LandofOpportunity and Sandy Storyline that compares and contrasts the impact and responses to Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy.
Katrina/Sandy was conceived with a central question in mind: what can we learn by stepping back and viewing these two narratives in conversation with one another? Recovery can and should be different, and we must heed the stories of the past if we don't want to recreate them.
