It’s been almost two years since Hurricane Sandy tore her way through the Northeast -- leaving behind a trail of destruction throughout much of our region.
In the storm’s aftermath, we saw communities ripped from their foundations, families separated from friends and loved ones -- communities that were damaged badly enough to still need repair.
This hour, we look at how far we’ve come since Sandy struck two years ago. We sit down with some reporters and climate experts to learn more about the government's role in disaster response. And we also look at Sandy's impact on how we view disaster risk here in our region.
