After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Manhattan VA Medical Center has recovered and ultimately better prepared itself for future natural disasters, according to an article on the Medical Design & Construction website.
There are no positives to glean from natural disasters, but recovery efforts are also times for healthcare organizations to invest in facility improvements, the article said.
Some of Manhattan VAMC's efforts included:
• Constructing a permanent floodwall to protect the three sides of the campus exposed to flood-level waters
• Creating a raised generator building and switchgear rooms and replace underground fuel tanks
