In response to Hurricane Sandy, the EDNY formed the Hurricane Sandy Mediation Program as a means to resolve the litigation surrounding insurance claims filed by those affected by the super storm.

In May of 2014 the EDNY ADR Program hosted a Storm Sandy Mediation Training at which nearly one hundred mediators were specially trained to mediate disputes associated with the storm. The training was led by Judge Robert Levy, Gerald Lepp, Simeon Baum, and Peter Woodin.
