FEMA - Hurricane Sandy National Flood Insurance Program Claims Review

                                                    

fema.gov

Flood insurance policyholders: If you filed a flood insurance claim after Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible to have your claim reviewed and you can ask us to take another look.

Our call centers have extended hours to assist you. You can call toll-free 866-337-4262.

Why are we doing this?
There have been allegations that some policyholders were underpaid for their Hurricane Sandy claims and that the claims process was not effective. FEMA wants to make sure policyholders who filed Sandy claims are paid what they are owed under their policy.

Our resource page has the full list of times and more information to assist you:

sisandyhelp.org

Greetings,

This Tuesday, on the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, everyone impacted by this tragic storm will be commeorating the events of last year in their own way.

Some will feel most comforted by staying home, or gathering with family or friends, or in their religious communities. Some will join in the many anniversary events happening around the island, seeking the strength of the broader Sandy-impacted community.

Whether you are a resident who lost everything, or a caregiver, or a service provider who is feeling very tired, this anniversary is a stressful time.

Be sure to take care of yourself. Rest. Talk about how you are feeling with family and friends. Pay attention to your health.

And remember that many emotional care services available on Staten Island are open to both impacted residents and their caregivers.

Rebuild by Design Public Receptions in New York and New Jersey

rebuildbydesign.org

Rebuild by Design is hosting two public receptions in New York and New Jersey to hear Rebuild by Design's ten Design Teams discuss their research and the ideas born out of their work.

This is a critical moment for the Rebuild by Design project and a perfect occasion to learn more about the teams' thoughtful and unique visions to make our region more resilient.

The proposals follow three months of in-depth analysis and public outreach, including both one-on-one conversations with people living in affected areas and robust guided conversations with Design Teams and citizens. This will lead up to a selection of projects each team will pursue in the design phase—the next and final portion of the competition.

Breakfast Reception at NYU - RSVP
8:30 to 11:00 a.m.
60 Washington Square South,New York, NY
Kimmel Center, 4th Floor
