註釋This study provides unique data on and insights into the interplay of social factors, resilience, and recovery following Superstorm Sandy. With funding from The Rockefeller Foundation, The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research conducted a national survey of 2,025 individuals, with an oversample of 1,007 interviews with residents of the Superstorm Sandy affected region. This study accomplished two goals. First, the study provides rigorous data on the region most affected by Superstorm Sandy to systematically measure the impacts of the storm on individuals and neighborhoods and to assess the level of recovery six months after the storm. Second, by collecting data on neighborhood characteristics and social factors, the study provides an opportunity to understand how these factors relate to recovery and resilience.
