Residents of Brooklyn's District 33 say they’ve been waiting 10 years — since Superstorm Sandy — for city officials to develop climate resiliency and emergency responses. 'Every level of government has failed us when it comes to the climate crisis.'
When the hurricane struck in 2012, toxic waters from the canal overflowed and flooded the basements of the, a NYCHA public housing campus with 24 buildings. Elevators shut down, and some residents were cut off from electricity and water for nearly three weeks.
“We understood how it felt to be abandoned. There was no plan in place,” said Pinkard, who is the resident’s association vice president for Gowanus Houses. “You're in a space of survival mode and move forward and do the best you can without thinking that the government needs to do something about it.”
