Stefanik Urges Hochul to Issue Presidential Disaster Declaration Following Severe Storms in NY-21

Letter

My office has spoken with local officials throughout Upstate New York regarding the severe damage suffered by many communities. These officials report widespread destruction which has displaced residents, shuttered businesses, and severely compromised public infrastructure. Significant flooding requires a carefully coordinated response and all affected areas must be reviewed.”

As the state concludes its assessment I encourage you to submit a Presidential disaster declaration request to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). Since any request for federal disaster assistance must be submitted within 30 days of the incident this must be submitted as soon as possible.
