Impact analysis
The city and residents are staring down major costs—emergency response, cleanup, rebuilding homes and public infrastructure, and likely strains on local budgets and insurance.
Construction contractors, recovery service providers, and suppliers will see demand surge, while residents and businesses may benefit longer term from rebuilt homes, infrastructure, and stronger codes.
Homeowners, renters, small businesses, and vulnerable residents hit hardest by the storm face displacement, lost income, and repair bills, and the city itself may struggle with reduced tax revenue and strained services.
