Schumer explained that many unique factors of this part of Delaware County create a perfect storm for increased risk of flooding. The region, located in the valleys of the northern Appalachian and Catskill Mountain Ranges, is below two of the largest reservoirs in the New York City Water Supply system, infrastructure that exists for drinking water supply purposes, not flood control. Furthermore, Schumer said that existing weather warning systems are ineffective in the western part of Delaware County, as cellular service in the area is lacking. Therefore, to protect community safety, hundreds of regional businesses and the region’s booming $400 million tourism industry, Schumer urged the ARC to approve Delaware County’s grant application without any delay.</p>"}}
