people had to find higher ground and move away from water, or large bodies of oceans. After the hurricane, communities and groups of individuals helped rebuild their homes. 

Making sure that damaged items from the storm are cut down or demolished just in case.

Q1. The report was basically about the how flood has been affecting newark over the past years and the adequate control measures/techniques (laws Movements,permits)

that have been put in place to ensure the prevention of flood in Newark.Agencies that prevent flood have also proven efective and functional over time as in indicated

in the text "Historically, New Jersey has taken a strong role in the development of a rigorous floodplain management program at the State level while supporting those

same efforts at the Federal level with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) "(Floodplain Mapping Unit paragraph 1).This report would make resident feel

at ease knowing the problem of flooding is uder control.

Reacting to this report, Although Its is very reassuring knowing all these Agencies,funding,laws, and concerns are in place, I believe extra effort should be put in not only

in Newark but also in other flood affected areas in New Jersey and The United States as a whole because water levels are rising (major concern in coastal areas)and new methods should be put in place to

avoid major casualties.
. .

This affected the living conditions and lifestyls of many people who were attacked and destroyed by hurricane Sandy. 

Flood has been and is still a major concern in New jersey because the state is close to or on the 

caost.Whenever an heavy rain falls today , there are flood notifications on everyones phones.

These flood situations lead to traffic,lateness,rise in water levels and all others leading to 

vulnerability in our environment.

The Lack of other helping out, and major companies not helping the community unless they are forced to. 

Vunerability is when the houses an buildngs are being consumed by debree and water hat could damage the property. The resilience is putting sandbags, reducing the water damage of the building, and planning ahead to stop future floodings.
