New York Third Most Vulnerable City In Nation
According to an article in the latest issue of HSToday, if a Category 3 Hurricane struck this region, "such a storm could surpass Hurricane Katrina as the largest natural disaster ever to hit the United States." The story details why our area is the third most vulnerable city in the country for such a disaster, after Miami and New Orleans, and quotes a variety of experts on the scenarios that might unfold. It also explores the preparations area residents should make in the not-so-unlikely event that this might really happen. I highly recommend reading this story, for the full article click here.
I started this blog to share with others in the New York-metro area the products I've purchased and the things I've learned in my ongoing process of preparing for any natural or man-made disasters that may happen to us. I also hope to get feedback from those who read this blog and may have advice, tips, and products to recommend. You can also email me directly at: disasterreadynyc@gmail.com. Stay safe!
