The New York Sandy Mediation Training Manual is a comprehensive set of training materials designed to help mediators in New York State handle disputes related to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. It is broken into four distinct sections: Overview of Mediation, Conflict Resolution Strategies, Facilitation Skills, and Mediation in a Post-Sandy Environment. The manual provides in-depth guidance on how to effectively mediate Sandy-related disputes, including topics such as organizational dynamics, cultural considerations, and legal considerations. It also offers a number of sample exercises and scenarios to help mediators practice their skills. There are two versions of the New York Sandy Mediation Training Manual — one for lawyers and one for lay people.
