Value Delivered
The New York City Rapid Repairs Program called upon Forest Electric New York (Forest NY) to help restore power, lighting, and heat to over 20,000 residential units in Far Rockaway, Queens, and Staten Island that were affected by Hurricane Sandy. Forest NY worked with city agencies, utilities, and other contractors to help facilitate a seamless recovery process.
We promptly mobilized a large team focused on restoring electricity to the region. Our electricians, project managers, superintendents, and warehouse personnel all worked long hours to help ensure that displaced residents could return home as safely and quickly as possible. Thanks in part to our efforts, the Rapid Repairs Program restored area services for residents in just five months.
