Breezy Point, N.Y., March 22, 2013 -- Residents of this Queens neighborhood are rebuilding their homes damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Contractors are installing flood vents under this house to create permanent openings in the foundation walls that will allow water to move through the foundation of the house freely, thereby reducing water pressure applied to the structure.
