Recovery

While some businesses already have launched fundraising efforts, others question whether they’ll be able to raise money as they did two years ago.

New York City, which runs its own separate building code system, now relies on 2009 construction standards, although changes made after Hurricane Sandy struck in 2012 required new buildings to better resist strong winds and rain.

The 39-year-old National Guardsman, an Air Force veteran, was washed away by the floodwaters.

If the analysis is correct, it means that for every hurricane-related death that's currently on the books, another 70 fatalities in the U.S. territory have gone uncounted.

Over the past 60 years alone, Anchorage and Southcentral Alaska has been repeatedly dusted by ash from erupting volcanoes strung down the western side of Cook Inlet.

More than $4.7 million would go to the N.C. Department of Public Instruction to establish the 'Teacher Resource Officer Grant Program.'

'Whatever money remains after we support current flood relief survivors will stay in the fund for future disasters in our community.'

They predict there could be up to four major hurricanes this season with winds of 111 mph or higher.

'The most valuable lesson here is that facilities should plan and plan again. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by thinking it can't happen here.'

'The Legislature can take steps to reduce the risk of deadly school violence, which often stems from mental illness.'

While having an armed officer on hand isn’t always enough to stop a school shooting, research suggests that their presence can be beneficial in a number of ways.

Having a plan or at least the start of one can make a big difference.

So far, they lament, none of the $10 billion approved by Congress for long-term flood recovery in Texas has made it to local governments.
