Many people were killed by falling trees. Drowning, touching live electric wires, and carbon monoxide poisoning from generators run in enclosed spaces. hidden health risks associated with flooding from events such as Sandy include waterborne diseases contaminating drinking water and bacteria and sewage in local waterways. The latter was evident in Hoboken. Research has shown that over half the outbreaks of waterborne diseases in the U.S. occur in the wake of heavy rains and flooding such as we saw with Sandy, and that floodwaters may contain more than a hundred types of disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and parasites. Flooded homes and buildings create a breeding ground for mold, which can cause debilitating respiratory and neurological problems. Exposure to mold in inundated structures can, among other things, increase the risk of asthma in children and pose a lingering health threat well after the flood. Mental health problems, such as stress and depression, also tend to increase in the wake of extreme weather disasters.

As part of your own planning, you should create backup contact lists and set up alternative methods of communication: 1. Decide on intercompany communication methods to be used if you cannot enter your office. Options include cellphones, instant messaging, Skype and a Web-based e-mail service like Gmail or Yahoo. 2. Make arrangements for incoming communications (how clients and others will reach you). Consider using a VoIP system like Grasshopper or Vonage, which let you forward your office lines to other numbers. Companies with 10 or more users might want to look into a more sophisticated hosted VoIP system like M5 . 3.
