Here's an article I found earlier today on a development in Queens, and it has some good information on lessons learned in construction following Sandy. The structure was already going to be built 10 feet above the flood plains but they have made additional changes since the storm. Their plans have moved mechanical equipment and infrastructure above the second floor, and water-tight entrances.
