New York City Bounces Back After Severe Flooding: Climate Crisis Highlights the Urgency

The city of New York fully reactivated its transportation service a day after the severe flooding that paralyzed the metropolis yesterday.

Gov. Kathy Hochul said the climate crisis has made the problem worse.

I want to emphasize how serious this event was. Climate change is making these storms the new normal,” declared the president.

Last Friday, the state of New York declared a state of emergency due to flooding that affected two airports and subway service, putting 18 million people in large cities on the east coast of the country on alert.

Yesterday, transport services, subways and airports were already operating regularly.

According to The New York Times, the city’s Office of Emergency Management is still assessing the extent of the damage caused by the flooding.

Currently, the agency is carrying out debris removal activities, cutting down fallen trees and collecting reports from residents regarding damage.

Through social networks, Hochul thanked the workers who contributed to the operations for their work.
