Schumer, Tenney call on FEMA to support those impacted by severe weather
NEW YORK STATE – This past holiday weekend, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D - NY) and U.S. Congresswoman Claudia Tenney (R - New Hartford) were both quick to call on the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to aid central-New Yorkers impacted by a recent string of severe thunderstorms and flash flooding.
“This past weekend, residents across central New York and the Mohawk Valley were ravaged by severe thunderstorms and flooding, and it is absolutely crucial that we get them the resources they need to recover,” said Senator Schumer in a press release. “I’m putting FEMA on notice now to be ready to support any requests for federal assistance so that communities have the resources they need to recover and rebuild.”
Additionally, Schumer attached the letter he reportedly penned to FEMA Administrator Brock Long where he further stated, "I write in strong support of communities across central New York that were impacted by this weekend’s severe storm and flooding. Officials are in the process of cleaning up and assessing the damage, and should that damage meet a level where New York State requests a major disaster declaration, I urge you to swiftly implement the federal programs activated by the President’s approval of that request."
Congresswoman Tenney said of the issue, “My office is in contact with local elected officials as well as FEMA to ensure that any aid and assistance these communities need is provided as quickly as possible,” said Tenney in a media release. "I am driving throughout the region to assist in identifying the worst damage and sending photos and video to first responders and others who can provide assistance to residents."
"As soon as the rain stops and the water recedes, my office will continue to work with area leaders to make sure that federal assistance is provided through the appropriate disaster declarations," continued Tenney. "I’m grateful for the commitment of the first responders and all who are working to get this situation under control."
