Long Island homeowners say FEMA aid not enough to repair all damage caused by Ida

Extended ISLAND, N.Y. — Six months after the remnants of Hurricane Ida strike our place, some Lengthy Island owners say promised aid from FEMA is just not more than enough.

Friday, CBS2’s Jennifer McLogan got a seem at some of the hurt that is not protected by flood insurance policies.

“It is like the entire environment dropped more than us,” Hassan Iman explained.

Iman, a retired pharmacist and Manorhaven home owner, and his household ended up victims of a significant mudslide from the Sands Point cliffs triggered by Ida.

“Footwear were being stuck in the mud,” Iman mentioned.

It was the middle of the night when the violent storm slammed through Extended Island’s north shore. The Port Washington community is still digging out.

“A river of mud, a river of mud, all the way down to Manorhaven Park,” homeowner Jeff Taxier mentioned.

In September, CBS2 visited the Murphys, who are amongst hundreds still waiting around for FEMA relief. House owner insurance policy is just not masking trees, floods or mud.

“The Assembly is proposing a $50 million allotment to the governor’s storm restoration system. Now, this is just the very first step,” New York Condition Assembly Member Gina Sillitti said.

The Assembly is expected to vote on the resolution early up coming week, but the evaluate will have to be handed in the state’s budget in April.

“It was a horrible working experience from our lives,” said Sharon Kuo, from Manhasset.

Kuo received $4,000 from the feds for $40,000 in flood problems.

“It was like a river, like a lake,” claimed Oscar Ochoa, from Herricks.

So much, Ochoa has not acquired anything for his ruined possessions.

“They gave me around $12,000,” reported Iman, who demands $60,000 to dig up 6 toes of mud encompassing his property and landscaping.

“We’re hoping, hopeful that this fund will deliver some of the relief that they want to just get their life again in buy,” Sillitti said.
