Response to Hurricane Sandy

Hey my name is Wanda Tineo i am writing about New York response to Hurricane Sandy . I believe the city response was adequate because they help people that lost their homes to get shelter for a period of time. But they was also inadequate because after a couple of months they stop helping these people, so they were left without a place to live . Everything they had was destroy & it wasn't their fault. Some of these people home was made into something that the city could benefit from. In Shock Doctrine "Blanking The Beach" she talks about a "New Rule" there were a mysterious fire & people were told they couldn't live by the beach and everything had to be at lest two hundred meters back from the high-water mark. Basically they left fishing man without homes. These people benefit from the disaster & drove people out of there homes.

" Sandy Stories"

I am writing this blog about victims that lived hurricane sandy for an assignment in my english class. The assignment asked me to pick two stories on the "Sandy Storyline" & to make two quote sandwiches. 

No one expect for hurricane sandy to hit New York City that hard. A lot of people wasn't prepare. Linda Restanio and her family walked to the beach to check on the water . Not knowing the dangerous these waves would be & how much damage it was going to cause to theirhomes . Linda stated "usually everybody gets excited with a storm" (Linda Resnanio). But everything was destroy.  No one expect for this hurricane to hit so hard. Hurricane Sandy took people lives, destroy people homes and properties. It left bad memory in New York City. 

Debbie Turner & her daughter Ayla lived in their home for about 6-7 year before Sandy storm hit . She was 8 months pregnant when the storm hit. Which made it difficult for her . As shown in the video her  home was destroy she had no wall, furniture, light, gas. She has been waiting for FEMA to send her money to rebuild her house . They lost her paper work twice . Which kind've of ridiculous in her condition with a daughter and a newborn. The government didn't know how to handle the situation. so they just try to get rid of people by find them a temporary home. Turner states "The government doesn't know what they really doing with us" (Debbie Turner).  Which I agree with her in situation that she's in. She has a new born & a daughter & still the government is moving slow with processes of rebuilding her home.
