I completely agree with the Mayor Michael Bloomberg's decision to cancel the event. In the article on The Independent, it stated that people throughout the city were still without power and it just comes down to what matters the most — the event or the people of New York City.
On Humans of New York (a blog and Facebook page devoted to capturing the humans of New York City) there were multiple photos showing marathon runners staying in town to help people with clean up and volunteering.
It relates to what we talk about in class that best and most efficient way to keep hazards from turning into disasters is community preparedness. Obviously, Sandy was a disaster but because of the community working together. Also, we all know celebrities love to prove how great of people that they are so their involvement didn't hurt the cause either.
