He said the failure of the city's public utility system is of real concern.
The storm has led to calls for power companies to bury more electrical lines underground. But, at least one expert says similar efforts did not help New York. Otto Lynch is vice president of Power Line Systems in Wisconsin.
Otto Lynch says a bigger national problem has to do with electrical distribution poles. He says the current poles do not have to meet industry weather requirements. And he says the ones in New York did not.
Mr. Lynch is a member of the America's Infrastructure Committee at the American Society of Civil Engineers. The group produced its last report on the nation's infrastructure in 2009.州长科莫说飓风桑迪暴露了纽约在基础建设方面的问题。
他说城市公共设施的瘫痪是最令人担忧的。
这场飓风也引发了人们对电力公司将更多的电线铺设于地下的呼声。但不止一位专家认为诸如此类的举措并不能解决纽约的问题，奥图·林奇是威斯康辛电力系统公司的副总裁。
奥图·林奇说全国更大的问题在于配电杆。他认为现有的电杆无法满足电力行业应对气候的需求，而纽约的电杆正是如此。
林奇先生是美国土木工程师协会旗下美国基础设施委员会的成员之一。该组织于2009年提交了一份关于全国基础设施现状的报告。
