Sandy Bringing Long Term Pain to Staten Islanders

Many Staten Islanders are still suffering from Hurricane Sandy, especially on the island’s hard-hit eastern shore.

Staten Island's Eastern shore is on the right. Much of the red area, which signifies a Zone A (or prone to severe flooding areas), is within the 60th Assembly District, where 22 of the 24 deaths on Staten Island caused by Hurricane Sandy occurred. The yellow signifies Zone B areas and the green Zone C, which means they are less prone to flooding in case of a severe storm. Screenshot, nyc.gov Hurricane Evacuation Map
