Hurricane Sandy was by far the most horrifying experience that people had to witness. Hurricane Sandy was a late season Atlantic hurricane that had an impact on Jamaica, Cuba, the Bahamas and the eastern US on October 2012. It was also known as Extratropical Storm Sandy. According to wikipedia.org there were at least 285 people that died during the storm. Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding in three ways. The first way is to repair the damages that Hurricane Sandy caused. The second way is to decrease budgets. The third and final way is that President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg got involved with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy. In the article of [|“Assessing the Damage from Hurricane Sandy”], it states that the tunnels located under the East River were flooded due to Hurricane Sandy.

Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding because of the damages it caused. In [|“Assessing the Damage from Hurricane Sandy”], it states that the tunnels located under the East River were flooded due to the storm. In [|“Congress passes a $9.7 Billion Storm Relief Measure”] Raymond Hernandez asserts that congress will adopt a legislation that will provide about $9.7 billion to cover insurance claims that some people filed. Their homes were either damaged or destroyed because of Hurricane Sandy. Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding because Hurricane Sandy flooded the tunnels under the East River and destroyed/damaged the homes of the Hurricane Sandy victims.

Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding by decreasing budgets. In [|“Sequester budget cuts could drain Hurricane Sandy relief funds”] Jonathan Lemire stated that the federal budget cuts could hurt those who are already suffering because of Hurricane Sandy. In [|“Hurricane Sandy”], it asserts that FEMA is carrying on the federal government’s effort to provide the victims of hurricane sandy with assistance and support. Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding because Hurricane Sandy caused us to have budget cuts and it is shown by the fact that the budget cuts could hurt the people who are already suffering because of Hurricane Sandy and that FEMA is carrying on the federal government’s effort to provide the victims of Hurricane Sandy with assistance and support.

Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding along with President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg. In [|“Obama, Visiting New York, Pledges Help in Recovery from Storm”] James Barron stated that President Obama saw the wreckage when he came to Queens. He promised a strong and continuing federal role during the recovery. In [|“Bloomberg Backs Obama, Citing Fallout from Storm”] Raymond Hernandez asserts that Mayor (Michael R.) Bloomberg said that Hurricane Sandy had changed his mind about the presidential campaign. As a result, he was then endorsing President Obama. Hurricane Sandy caused events and the government is responding along with President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg and it is shown by Obama promising a strong and continuing federal role during the recovery and Mayor Bloomberg saying that Hurricane Sandy had changed his mind about the presidential campaign and was then endorsing President Obama.

Hurricane Sandy caused many horrifying events and the government is responding to them. For instance, the government is trying to repair the damages Hurricane Sandy caused. The government is also decreasing budget. Even President Obama and Mayor Bloomberg got involved with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy. My thesis is important because Hurricane Sandy did cause events to happen and those events ruined the lives of others. For example, Hurricane Sandy damaged/destroyed people’s homes. It is because of events like this that the government is responding to them. If the government did not help the people then their lives could have been miserable.
