Welcome to our Web-based project “Mapping Sandy’s Inequalities”!<\/p>\n
Prepared in anticipation of the fifth anniversary of the Hurricane\/Superstorm named Sandy, the purpose of this website is twofold. First, we hope it will serve as a resource for those interested in looking back at Sandy and its impacts, both in Long Island communities and more broadly.\u00a0 The intent is to preserve, show, and share a thorough and detailed account of Sandy and its impacts on Long Island. Secondly, it serves as a means for enlightening and educating the public about some alarming historical patterns found within natural disasters: how some tend to suffer more than others, also how disasters such as this one are likely not just to recur but to get worse.<\/p>\n
This web project was undertaken and authored by Professor Chris Sellers and his students in History 401.02, The History of Environmental Hazards, in the fall of 2017: Elaine Cash, Armani Garrick, Stephen Henry, Kara Maroney, Latira Walker, and Matthew Walker.\u00a0 Other collaborators who made this project possible were Sung Gheel Jang, director of Stony Brook’s Geospatial Center, as well as Paul St. Denis in Stony Brook’s Teaching and Learning Lab, also Randy Dible and Julia Clarke.<\/p>\n
