FEMA - Hurricane Sandy National Flood Insurance Program Claims Review

Sun, 2015-09-06 21:12 — Kathy Gilbeaux

                                                    

fema.gov

Flood insurance policyholders: If you filed a flood insurance claim after Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible to have your claim reviewed and you can ask us to take another look.

Our call centers have extended hours to assist you. You can call toll-free 866-337-4262.

Why are we doing this?
There have been allegations that some policyholders were underpaid for their Hurricane Sandy claims and that the claims process was not effective. FEMA wants to make sure policyholders who filed Sandy claims are paid what they are owed under their policy.

Our resource page has the full list of times and more information to assist you:

Webinar - Community Resilience and Impacts of Interdependent Infrastructure Disruptions as Experienced from Hurricane Sandy (One hour long)

Presented By: 
Michael D. McDonald, Dr.P.H.
Chairman, Global Resilience Inititatives
Executive Director, Health Initiatives Foundation, Inc. 

Facilitated By:
John T. Hoffman, Col., USA, Ret.
Senior Research Fellow, National Center for Food Protection and Defense

Under the dynamic conditions of rapid climate change and broader global changes, resilience and sustainability are not being achieved through traditional emergency management and humanitarian approaches alone. While community-based resilience networks are now beginning to emerge in a race to stabilize New York City's coastal communities significantly impacted by Superstorm Sandy in 2012, many impacted neighborhoods are still trending toward greater vulnerability plaguing recovery and preparedness for the next wave of potentially larger storms.

Construction of New Rockaway Boardwalk Slated to Start This Week

Mon, 2014-04-21 21:36 — Kathy Gilbeaux

      

Many of these old concrete pilings, which date back to the 1920s, will be demolished to make way for new pilings and a new Rockaway boardwalk. Construction on the first section from Beach 86th St. to Beach 97th St. starts this week. These pilings were the only signs left when Hurricane Sandy destroyed large sections of the Rockaway boardwalk in 2012.  Debbie Egan-Chin/New York Daily News

Remnants of Hurricane Sandy ravaged boardwalk will be removed during construction

nydailynews.com - by Lisa L. Colangelo - April 21, 2014

Construction is slated to start this week to rebuild the Rockaway boardwalk from Beach 86th to Beach 97th Street — a stretch that was destroyed in 2012 by Hurricane Sandy.

Crews will fence off the area and start demolishing some of the concrete piles as early as Monday, and the first section could be completed by Memorial Day 2015, First Deputy Parks Commissioner Liam Kavanagh told The News.

“We’re trying to get the project done as quickly as possible,” said Kavanagh.

Submission Deadline - April 11, 2014 at 4:00 pm

New York City Economic Development Corporation (“NYCEDC”) is seeking qualified firms to construct boardwalks, dunes and other protective measures along 4.7 miles of shoreline in the Rockaways (the “Project”) through this supplemental Request for Qualifications (“SRFQ”). 

On September 23, 2013, NYCEDC issued a Request for Qualifications (“RFQ”) for the provision of construction contractor services for the Project.  This RFQ does NOT replace, cancel or otherwise modify the status of those prequalified contractors selected under the original RFQ. The purpose of this RFQ is to seek qualified contractors for additional trades and to increase the overall number of prequalified contractors for the Project.

Volunteers Needed for Unresponsive Build It Back Applicants Outreach

Thu, 2014-03-20 16:50 — Kathy Gilbeaux

submitted by Seth Golbey

 

On Tuesday, March 25th from 5pm-8pm, and Saturday, March 29th from 11am-2pm, we will be doing a citywide door knocking campaign to the Build It Back applicants who have been unresponsive to our numerous outreach attempts.  If these applicants do not reply to our requests, we cannot move their applications forward, which will prevent them from receiving Build It Back assistance.  This is why this outreach campaign is so important. 

Charlie Aidinoff from our office, is coordinating this outreach project.  If you and or your staff are able to provide volunteers for Tuesday, March 25th and/or Saturday, March 29th, please let Charlie know your availability so he can coordinate your outreach area(s).  Charlie can also be reached at 917-584-8950.

Thank you in advance for all your assistance with this outreach.

Despite Renovations After Hurricane, Unease Persists in the Rockaways

The buildings are offset by the Atlantic, a pastiche of warm tones and cool grays, jutting balconies overlooking tranquil landscaped gardens and million-dollar views. The apartment complex is in the Arverne section of the Rockaway Peninsula; it looks as if it could be Boca Raton, Fla.

But in this cluster of buildings, looks are often deceiving.

Reworking New York's Flood Map Post-Hurricane Sandy

Thu, 2013-11-28 22:07 — Kathy Gilbeaux

      

The new map could put twice as many homes in the flood zone and raise premiums for many homeowners.

propublica.org - by Al Shaw - June 12, 2013

. . . while Sandy’s water has long receded and the bulldozers have left, a residual effect for homeowners along the city’s coastline still lurks quietly beneath the surface. It comes in the form of a July 2012 law called the Biggert-Waters Act, which will end subsidized rates for property owners who are remapped into more severe flood zones, increasing their flood insurance premiums 20 percent a year until they reach market rates, and will apply those higher rates for newly purchased property.

The potential increases, which proponents say are necessary to sustain the National Flood Insurance Program, are not widely understood by residents, and may be catching them unprepared.
