Hurricane season is here and are we ready for another hurricane?
while many changes have been implemented some things haven't changed much.
According to news 12 and their latest's reports we are still on risk of being
hit and damaged as we did a year ago.
Robert Sinclair from AAA said "We are, in essence, in
the same place we were last October"
Sandy destroyed 90 % of the waterside terminals in New York
Harbor, which handles fuel deliveries from tankers and pipelines to our area.
Sinclair says almost nothing has been done to storm proof those terminals in
the aftermath of Sandy. Although Gov. Cuomo order that all the gas stations
must have generators this measure will be effective until next year which means
we are no different than last yr.
LIPA was largely criticized on how they responded to the
customers and the way they approached
the chaos but LIPA has already handed a major part to its partner National Grid
which will end the contract with LIPA in 2014. LIPA insist that's they have made
some major changes to act if another natural disaster occurs.
Experts agree there
will be another big storm like Sandy, and they say Long Islanders need to be
prepared for this type of occurrence once in a while.
Scientists say
they have a pretty good understanding of how storm patterns move in large areas
like the Atlantic. The difficulty comes when you're forecasting for a small,
highly populated area like Long Island.
However, as
scientists try to understand what's happening to weather patterns the stakes
are getting higher. Officials say heavy shoreline development on Long Island is
a bulls-eye for future super storms.
Experts say
climate change occurs over decades, so the best defense is to make our area
less vulnerable.
