On the heels of Hurricane Harvey and amidst Superstorm Sandy flashbacks, Senator Schumer, on August 29th in Long Beach, demanded Congress prevent the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) from expiring. Schumer said that without swift action, come September 30th, Long Island, and flood-prone communities and cities across America could be in jeopardy. While the NFIP covers tens-of-thousands of individuals on Long Island, the program’s future remains at risk and Schumer warned that any lapse in the program could leave Long Islanders, many of whom were devastated by Superstorm Sandy, vulnerable as this year’s hurricane season continues to loom with predictions that put New York at greater risk for seeing a major storm.
