纽约大学朗格尼医疗中心在2012年10月29日经历了一场史无前例的风暴， 造成的损害严重影响了我们的病人护理、研究和教育设施。 NYULMC的应急电力系统是根据所有安全规范设计和建造的，以 经受住了比纽约市过去一个世纪最高洪水水位更高的洪水。 超级风暴桑迪显然超过了这些级别。尽管我们安全疏散了300多人 来自Tisch医院和Schwartz Health Care Center(HCC)的患者在风暴中， 我们的主校区的机械、电气和管道系统遭到严重损坏。 系统，需要暂时关闭我们的主校园。 有三座基础科学建筑，Skirball研究所，Smilow研究中心和 医学大楼(MSB)。其中两座建筑的地下水平， 斯米洛研究中心和MSB，包括两个设施，显著 损坏了。斯米洛的动物被认为是完全无法恢复的。MSB 隔膜仍处于关闭状态。而Skirball和Smilow在两个月内就开始运作- 桑迪，MSB仍处于关闭状态，预计将于今年夏天开始分阶段重新开放。在……里面 此外，贝尔维尤医院，CTSI所在的地方，以及我们进行评估的地方 需要熟练护理帮助的，已经关闭了3个多月。

NYU Langone Medical Center experienced an unprecedented storm on October 29th, 2012, causing damage that deeply impacted our patient care, research, and educational facilities. NYULMC’s emergency power system was designed and built according to all safety codes to withstand a surge higher than the highest flood level for New York City in the past century. Superstorm Sandy obviously exceeded those levels. Although we safely evacuated over 300 patients from Tisch Hospital and Schwartz Health Care Center (HCC) in the midst of the storm, our main campus incurred extensive damage to its mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems, requiring the temporary closure of our main campus. There are three basic science buildings, the Skirball Institute, the Smilow Research Center, and the Medical Science Building (MSB). The below-ground levels of two of these buildings, the Smilow Research Center and MSB, which included two vivarium facilities, were significantly damaged. The animal vivarium of Smilow was deemed completely unrecoverable. The MSB vivarium remains closed. While Skirball and Smilow were operational within two months post- Sandy, MSB remains closed and its phased reopening is expected to begin this summer. In addition, Bellevue Hospital, where the CTSI is located and where we conduct the evaluations that require skilled nursing assistance, was closed for over 3 months.
