Senator Biaggi's Week in Review: 9/6/21-9/10/21

 

Senator Alessandra Biaggi

Dear Community,

Unfortunately, New York continues to grapple with the aftermath of Tropical Storm Ida, including parts of District 34. As we continue to recover, I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and cared for. If you are still recovering from damaging flooding or need any other assistance due to the tropical storm, please fill out this form so that my office and I can properly assist you. 

FEMA Disaster Assistance is here. Earlier this week, President Joe Biden approved Governor Kathy Hochul’s expedited Major Disaster Declaration that will provide federal financial relief for local governments and deliver assistance for eligible New Yorkers recovering from the flooding damage caused by the remnants of Hurricane Ida. If you experienced damages due to Ida, you may be eligible for funding. 

Apply for FEMA financial assistance: 

www.disasterassistance.gov

1-800-621-3362

TTY 1-800-462-7585

Additionally, New York City is offering additional storm recovery resources. for City residents. By calling 311, New Yorkers may access temporary hotel shelter for homeowners and renters, free water pumping, food delivery, and Red Cross debit cards to help replace items. I strongly recommend New Yorkers utilize these resources from the City if needed. 

If you need assistance filing a FEMA claim, please contact my office at biaggi@nysenate.gov or by calling 718-822-2049. I am optimistic that we will be able to recover quickly from this storm together. 

With Gratitude,

State Senator Alessandra Biaggi
