By Jann Mirchandani, Candidate for Yorktown Town Supervisor
Following last night’s torrential rainstorm many residents have water in their home, and many roads remain closed.
The state of emergency will allow the Town to utilize new vendors for trash disposal during the emergency. I am calling on the Town to immediately use this authority to find a new, temporary, vendor. If Competitive clearly cannot be trusted to pick up on a regular day, they cannot be trusted when a half dozen roads are flooded.
I feel it is important to use the platform I have to promote tools or information which may be of assistance.
If your home has been flooded, this link contains important information: https://health.ny.gov/publications/6552/index.htm
This link contains information on how to deal with damaged electrical equipment: https://www.redcross.org/get-help/disaster-relief-and-recovery-services/utilities-major-systems.html
This link contains information on how to pursue a flood insurance claim: https://www.floodsmart.gov/how-do-i-start-my-flood-claim
Documenting the damages to your home in detail will assist with any insurance claims or – if FEMA gets involved – any damage assistance from FEMA.
