Map Description: |
Hurricane Sandy was the deadliest and most destructive hurricane of the 2012 hurricane
season in the Atlantic. It was also the second-costliest hurricane in United States history. In New Jersey,
GIS played an important role in dealing with devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy and continues to be a
critical decision-making tool in the state's recovery process. The NJDEP's Bureau of GIS coordinated with
many different programs and agencies before, during and after the storm. |
