Post Hurricane Sandy Report
Dear Bytemark Friends and Family,The past week has been a difficult time for all of those affected by Hurricane Sandy. The storm left incredible damage in its wake, causing extensive flooding, destroying homes, and severely impacting transit. Here in New York City, we are still facing some hard weeks ahead to fully recover from the impact of the storm.Our thoughts are with those who have experienced hardships in this trying time. As New Yorkers, we feel your pain and understand how difficult this has been for so many people.We can't express how proud we are of our team members for their ability to adapt to these complicated circumstances. Due to flooding and loss of electricity, our offices were inaccessible in the immediate aftermath of the storm. The Bytemark team showed great resolve, banding together to fight through this ordeal. Our employees worked from each other's homes in order to maintain operations and provide continued customer support.While we are thankful to have made it out Hurricane Sandy relatively unscathed, we are cognizant of the issues still affecting our colleagues in the transit industry. MTA officials proclaimed this as the worst disaster in the history of the agency. It may take over a month for NYC area transit services to be fully restored, and we are appreciative of their efforts to get New York City back on its feet. Our partner—NY Waterways—lost power and suffered damage to multiple locations, yet they are doing a fantastic job with the influx of riders.I want to thank all of our partners, clients and employees—you have all been patient and supportive through this difficult time. We know that this hasn't been easy for anyone, but we are encouraged by the progress that is being made. I am confident that this hardship will only make us stronger.Sincerely,Micah BegdaleCEO Bytemark, Inc.
