On October 29, 2012, Superstorm Sandy made landfall near Atlantic City, New Jersey. Sandy's massive size, coupled with an unusual combination of meteorological conditions, fueled an especially powerful and destructive storm surge, which caused unprecedented damage in and around New York City, the country's most populous metropolitan area, as well as on Long Island and along the Jersey Shore. This two-part case study focuses on how New York City prepared for the storm's arrival and then responded to the cascading series of emergencies - from fires, to flooding, to power failures - that played out as it bore down on the city. Profiling actions taken at the local level by emergency response agencies like the New York City Fire Department (FDNY), the case also explores how the city coordinated with state and federal partners - including both the state National Guard and federal military components - and illustrates both the advantages and complications of using military assets for domestic emergency response operations. Case number 2124.0
