after what happened last year with IDA we are pretty badly underprepared for another large storm, much less a storm that hits as hard as sandy did. alot of the infrastructure that NYC put in place after Sandy has aged out and become obsolete as alot of these assets were purchased almost ten years ago and have not been used since. DOT put some special porous pavement down in flood prone areas but they are currently looking for ways to maintain that pavement.
