Storm Centers Open Again for Sandy Victims to Complete Pre-Registration

Nassau County Executive Edward P. Mangano announced this week that Nassau County and New York State will again host a pre-registration assistance program this Saturday at four Disaster Recovery Centers for Hurricane Sandy victims, including one in Seaford.  

The implementation of these programs is moving forward with the understanding that funds, although approved by the United States Congress, are still not yet available and details of the programs are still being developed and may change before a final version of the programs are released.

“Working with Governor Cuomo and his staff, we are pleased to launch a pre-registration assistance to prepare residents to apply for vital recovery programs,” said County Executive Mangano. “I encourage all of the residents and business owners eligible for Sandy recovery programs to visit the website and to stop by one of the Disaster Recovery Centers this Saturday to complete the pre-application process.”

All residents are encouraged to visit www.NYSANDYHELP.NY.gov to begin the pre-application process. 

New York State and Nassau County are also manning Disaster Recovery Centers to assist applicants from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, April 6 at the following locations:

• Cedar Creek Park, Merrick Road, Seaford
  
• Long Beach Recreation Center and Ice arena, 700 Magnolia Blvd., Long Beach
• Sacred Heart Parish (Island Park Railroad Station), 127 Long Beach Road, Island Park
• Freeport Recreation Center, 130 East Merrick Road, Freeport

Mold removal kits will also be handed at at the Disaster Recovery Centers. 

In addition, the Department of Financial Services vehicle will be on site at Cedar Creek Park on Saturday, April 13 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. to assist residents in dealing with their insurance companies.
