The upshot for policymakers? Since "even under the assumptions of the IPCC changes to energy policies wouldn't have a discernible impact on future disasters for the better part of a century or more," the "only strategies that will help us effectively prepare for future disasters are those that have succeeded in the past: strategic land use, structural protection, and effective forecasts, warnings and evacuations. That is the real lesson of Sandy."
