More than $117 million in federal Sandy aid will go toward repairing New York's Bellevue Hospital, according to an article on the Crain's New York website.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's (FEMA) public assistance program will reimburse the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation for repairs made after the 2012 storm. The aid also will fund rebuilding plans that are still in the works.
The storm forced Bellevue to transfer about 700 patients after almost all its backup generators failed. Seventeen million gallons of water flooded its basement, where most of its electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems were located, the article said.
The hospital was closed for weeks after the storm and didn't resume full operations until three months later.
The aid will fund the replacement of an emergency generator. The hospital will be reimbursed for repairs to electrical and security systems and construction on the morgue and medical supply storage departments.
