Schumer announced a major push and plan to keep the national flood insurance program in place for Long Island. With hurricane season now days away, and in preparation for another fight against forces in Congress not opposed to letting the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), it is so important to thousands of homes and homeowners across Long Island, for a long-term extension of the program. Many of the reforms Schumer will push for, stem from lessons learned in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy. Schumer stood with local residents at the home of Rhonda & Remi Verriers.\r\n“My message to Congress today is a simple one: it takes just one storm without proper insurance and protection to devastate a coastal community,” said U.S. Senator Charles Schumer. “It is frightening that -- just as hurricane season brews in the Atlantic -- a crosswind of partisan politics in Congress is putting Long Island and the nation at risk of potentially letting the National Flood Insurance Program expire. Flood insurance should not be political, but right now there are those who would have no issue with letting the NFIP lapse.  We are here today to say this simply cannot happen. We cannot and must not allow the National Flood Insurance Program to expire.” "}}
