As Real Estate professionals, we want our clients to realize their dream home. Unfortunately, the torrential april nor easter in Westchester and Rockland County saturated many homeowner's experience of first time home buying. Some clients just bought their starter home and hadn't even unpacked before the flooding ruined their contents.
As a homeowner's insurance agent in New City NY 10956, I have been educating residents on their homeowner's insurance policies. Most standard hazard insurance policies do not include coverage for water related losses. I recommend that my purchasing sewer back up and/or separate flood insurance.
If you were a victim of Flooding...
If you live In Rockland County NY and were a victim of flooding and did not have flood insurance you still have options. Loans are available through the S.B.A. at about 2.8 percent. FEMA also has an emergency Disaster Assistance program located outside the Clarkstown Town Hall on Maple Avenue in New City. Or contact FEMA at 1-800-621 FEMA to ask for assistance. My office is also across the street from the FEMA tents to handle additional insurance concerns.
