The Hurricane Sandy Pollution Response Unified Command is responding to numerous areas throughout New York and New Jersey with environmental threats caused by Hurricane Sandy.
Responders with the unified command are assessing affected areas and environmentally sensitive areas for pollution and hazardous materials. The assessments will be used to appropriately respond to the identified areas of pollution.
The unified command has created branches, divisions and task forces to safely and efficiently respond to these impacted areas.
Liquid Robotics®, an ocean data service provider and developer of the Wave Glider®, the first wave powered autonomous marine robot, reports one of their Wave Gliders named Mercury battled through Hurricane Sandy and successfully piloted through winds up to 70 knots, all the while transmitting weather data in real time. One hundred miles due east of Toms River, New Jersey, the weather sensors on the Wave Glider gathered dramatic data from the ocean surface, reporting a plunge in barometric pressure of over 54.3 mbars to a low of 946 mbars as Sandy neared landfall.

As a result of impacts caused by Hurricane Sandy, today Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano issued a temporary, blanket waiver of the Jones Act to immediately allow additional oil tankers coming from the Gulf of Mexico to enter Northeastern ports, to provide additional fuel resources to the region.
“The Administration's highest priority is ensuring the health and safety of those impacted by Hurricane Sandy and this waiver will remove a potential obstacle to bringing additional fuel to the storm damaged region,” said Secretary Napolitano.
In 2005, after Hurricanes Katrina, Rita, Wilma, and others in the Gulf of Mexico, NACO applied for a research grant from the NMFS to do a study to provide the economic and social impacts on charter boat fleets from the impacts of such storms. The NACO study "Charter Boat Fleet in Peril" was finalized in 2006 and provides a wealth of information never before obtained on the impacts of such storms on the Charter Boat Fleet. The NMFS and Gulf States have used info from the study when providing assistance to charter boat fleets after such storms.
You can access a copy of the study on the NACO web site www.nacocharters.org. Search under "news, events, and alerts", scroll down to "2006" and then scroll to "Charter Boat Fleet in Peril". You can read and/or copy any or all of the report. This should help you gain assistance due to the loses from the storm. We encourage you to provide access to this info to all of your state and federal representatives.
