Aid in the Aftermath of Hurricane Sandy
Written by on November 02, 2012, 03:21 PM
Dear friends,
I hope this finds you and your family safe in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. I know that most residents of Nassau County are still without power, as I am, and a good number are enduring catastrophic damage to their property and livelihoods. This is especially widespread in our south shore communities, where the destruction is harrowing to witness.
Those of you seeking assistance should be aware of the available aid. New York State's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services has established a Hurricane Sandy Helpline at (888) 769-7243 or (518) 485-1159. It contains information on shelters, local assistance centers, mental health resources, and food banks.
You can find a summary of key federal disaster aid programs available as needed and warranted under the President's major disaster declaration for New York at this link. Additionally, Nassau County just announced the opening of two sites, as detailed at this link, for the disposal of tree debris caused by the Hurricane. Amid reports of breaches of pipes within the sewage system, you may report related health risks where there are backups at manhole covers and basement drains to the Department of Health Emergency Desk: (516) 573-9635. Nassau County has also activated its non-emergency hotline: 1 (888) 684-4274.
It will take a long time to repair much of the damage caused by the storm, but it is amazing what we can accomplish when we pull together to rebuild.
God bless,
Frank J. Scaturro

About Frank
Frank Scaturro is a Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New York’s 4th Congressional District. Frank believes our nation is at a tipping point, and if we do not turn things around, we could face many more years of decline. That is why he is offering the voters of Nassau County a real choice for principled new leadership that will finally represent the people.
As a principled new voice, Frank will work to make our Federal government accountable to the people again, reign in out-of-control spending, and reduce a crushing federal tax burden that hurts Long Island citizens and businesses.
Frank Scaturro was born in New York City in 1972 and raised in New Hyde Park following his family’s move to that community in 1973. His father, who had emigrated from Italy as a boy, was self-employed in a commercial air conditioning and refrigeration repair business for several years. He later became the supervisor of maintenance and operations at Bergdorf Goodman in New York City and then held a similar position at Chaminade High School in Mineola. His mother studied physical therapy at Nassau Community College and worked near home as a secretary at an insurance agency and several law firms. Read More
