Brooklyn, N.Y., Dec. 4, 2012 -- Brian Robbins, owner of Cornell Paper and Box Company, Inc., stands next to his business which abuts Upper New York Bay.  Robbins took the initiative to mitigate  his property by building a bulk head wall to protect his property from storm surge.  Although Robbins building was flooded due to Hurricane Sandy,  he said that without the mitigation steps, he would have lost his whole building.  Business impacted by the storm may contact the Small Business Administration (SBA) for  low-interest disaster loans  at all New York State/FEMA disaster recovery centers and  18 SBA business recovery centers.
