SCHUMER ANNOUNCES MAJOR DISASTER DECLARATION SECURED, UNLOCKING CRITICAL FEDERAL FUNDS TO HELP IMPACTED HUDSON VALLEY AND UPSTATE NY COMMUNITIES RECOVER FROM HISTORIC FLOODING

Press Release

"The historic rainfall that battered communities in the Hudson Valley, and across Upstate New York from the Finger Lakes to the North Country earlier this month resulted in a once in a generation flooding event causing millions in widespread damage, and millions of dollars in expected repairs. I fought non-stop to elevate the voices of our impacted communities to the highest levels of government, personally writing to both the FEMA Administrator and President Biden, because I knew our state needed this funding, and this is a critical step on the long road to recovery from this devastating storm. I sincerely thank President Biden for heeding my calls to ensure communities across New York impacted by this historic flooding have the support they need to rebuild stronger than ever, and I will continue to fight to deliver all of the federal support needed to the Hudson Valley and Upstate New York."
