Section 3. Storm Surge Barrier Deployment; New Bedford and other New England Hurricane Barriers
Various newscast segments including before/during Sandy, showing deployment of both harbor gates and adjacent landside deployable barrier (which required a not insignificant effort and might put some of the deployable aspects of Big U-like projects in a realistic light). Protection afforded to New Bedford during Sandy provides implicit comparison with both NY-NJ Sandy experience and background re: some of the deployables that might be needed for local projects.
