Sandy and BCP

The flooding of New York City was, once again, an example of known threats not 
being addressed.

It would have been too expensive to do anything about the issues.  (Flood costs 
currently $50B and rising as more damage found.)

Of course, nobody could have predicted Sandy, because this was a storm produced 
by changing conditions.  Brought on by global warming/climate change.  Which is 
another issue that is too expensive to address ...

(Why do I have this old oil filter ad tagline running through my head?  "You can 
pay me now ... or pay me later ...")
