Read on for the full programming schedule for Meet the Press, Today, NBC Nightly News, and NBC News Digital.

Meet the Press:
Brian Williams will join David Gregory to reflect on the anniversary and how Sandy deeply affected the people of the region.

Today:
Matt Lauer will interview Gov. Chris Christie, who will be live from the Seaside, NJ boardwalk, to discuss his state’s recovery.
Lauer will also return to the Rockaways, where he toured in the immediate days after Sandy, to see the progress as this community fights to come back stronger than before.
Al Roker will be live along the Jersey Shore with a look whether a storm like Sandy could happen again.
Dylan Dreyer will visit a local food pantry preparing to rebuild itself after the devastation of the superstorm.

NBC Nightly News
Brian Williams will anchor a special broadcast from Breezy Point, NY on Tuesday, October 29.
Lester Holt will travel up and down the path of Sandy’s fury, revisiting the streets, boardwalks, and neighborhoods Sandy hit hardest to see the big picture -- then and now. He will revisit the sights and sounds of that terrible day and offer some lessons learned about severe storms.
Ann Curry will return to Staten Island, NY, where we first met Pedro and Jen Correa the day after Sandy washed everything away. A year after their home was ripped off its foundation by record-high tides, the Correas have settled into a rented house and are working on a plan to buy back their property and help the neighborhood be better protected for the next storm.
Katy Tur will share the story of a New Jersey family living in a rental house three blocks away from their former home which, because of confusion with FEMA and insurance, still sits vacant and gutted, in the exact same shape it was right after the storm.
Stephanie Gosk will reconnect with several former residents of Breezy Point who we first met last year to check on their personal recoveries. After a slow rebuilding process, several houses are now under construction in this community that lost about 130 homes to the storm and subsequent fire.

NBC News Digital
NBCNews.com will provide wide-ranging coverage examining the state of recovery throughout the impacted region. Topics will include: stories of families still waiting to return to their homes; the first birthdays for babies born during evacuations and blackouts; community events and service activities; and more.
Photojournalist Ed Kashi will retrace the route he traveled while covering the storm for TIME Magazine, taking new photos matching his 2012 journey along the New Jersey and New York coast.
