On January 12, 2010, Schumer wrote to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) urging them to declare a snow disaster in Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island after the devastating December 19-20 blizzard blanketed the area dumping nearly 30 inches of snow. Cash-strapped localities incurred tens of millions of dollars in costs due to damage to infrastructure as well as emergency costs.
