City officials will go door to door to ensure people in New York get the federal relief benefits they need after the torrential rain from Hurricane Ida's remnants caused deadly flooding, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said Monday.
The announcement came after President Joe Biden approved a major disaster declaration for the area, which New York Senator Chuck Schumer called "the fastest (he's) seen a major disaster area declared." "That means that grants, not just loans, but grants can go to individuals to help make up for damage that they have here. It means the city can get reimbursed for all of its expenses, and it means that small businesses can get loans if they were hurt by this as well," Schumer said.More Related News
