CBS2's Vanessa Murdock spoke with Rohit T. Aggarwala, the city's chief climate officer, about what New Yorkers need to do now to weather the next superstorm.
The insight was provided at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Station during a panel discussion hosted by the Association for a Better New York or ABNY. "Nothing is more important than relationships, between the government and the community. That is how we got things done effectively, quickly, and in a way that actually addressed the needs in front of us,' Billings-Burford said.
"Sandy demonstrated to us that the climate is changing here and now. It's already coming after us. The time to act is now," he said.
