Catastrophic storms of the magnitude of Superstorm Sandy can contribute to significant and enduring health, economic, environmental, and social impacts. In recognition of this fact, the New Jersey State Department of Health has funded a joint research team from Rutgers University and Columbia University to conduct the Sandy Child and Family Health (S-CAFH) study.
This research will examine the potential long-term effects of Sandy on the health and well-being of New Jersey residents exposed to the storm. It will also shed light on what has helped or hindered people in their ongoing recovery.
