This NY1-Marist Poll Reports: The toll of Hurricane Sandy surprised many in New York City, but residents are bracing for another hit. 64% of residents believe it is likely or very likely the city will face another weather emergency of Sandys strength in the next year. This includes 21% who say it is very likely and 43% who report it is likely. About one in five -- 21% -- dont think the possibility is very likely while 8% say it is not likely at all. Seven percent are unsure. But, will New York City be ready to battle another fierce storm? Nearly three in four residents express confidence that the Big Apple will be able to respond to future natural disasters. Included here are 12% who are very confident in the citys ability and 61% who are confident in it. About one in five people in New York City -- 19% -- are not too confident that New York City will be able to deal with another severe weather event, and 5% are not confident at all. Three percent are unsure. New Yorkers think the city needs to brace itself for another storm, says Dr. Lee M. Miringoff, Director of The Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

How the Survey was Conducted

Nature of the Sample: NY1-Marist New York City Poll of 814 Adults This survey of 814 New York City adults was conducted November 28th and November 29th, 2012. Adults 18 years of age and older residing in New York City were interviewed by telephone. Telephone numbers were selected based upon a list of telephone exchanges from throughout the city. The exchanges were selected to ensure that each borough was represented in proportion to its population. An oversample of Staten Island residents was interviewed to allow for analysis of results in that borough. To increase coverage, this landline sample was supplemented by respondents reached through random dialing of cell phone numbers. The samples were then combined and balanced to reflect the 2010 census results for age, gender, income, race, and borough. Results for adults are statistically significant within 3.4 percentage points. There are 673 registered voters. The results for this subset are statistically significant within 3.8 percentage points. The error margin increases for cross-tabulations.
