It was almost November 2012 when Hurricane Sandy, a late arrival in
an otherwise quiet tropical season, slammed into the Mid-Atlantic
US coastline. Millions of residents were plunged into darkness and
billions of dollars in property and infrastructure were flooded or
washed away in surging waters. Blizzard conditions struck the
Appalachians as the hybrid Halloween monster moved inland. Savage
Sand and Surf: The Hurricane Sandy Disaster is multi-faceted
examination into one of the most recent natural disasters in the
United States. Scholars from multiple disciplines address a wide
range of important aspects of this event, including unique
meteorological and social impacts of Sandy, Sandy's intersection
with vulnerable social groups in society, and social institutions'
adaptations to the disaster. Also, different theoretical models of
disasters are explored and applied to better understand and prepare
for similar events in the future.
