Message from Congressman Jamaal Bowman: Dear neighbor, In response to Hurricane Ida, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is able to provide federal relief to individuals, households, businesses, schools, non-profits, and localities in our district. This assistance was made possible by President Biden’s approval of Governor Hochul’s request for a Major Disaster Declaration, something my office strongly supported. I am inviting you to join me for a Virtual Town Hall on FEMA and Local Resources this coming Tuesday, September 14th at 6 p.m. ET to learn more about these resources. I will be joined by the representatives below to discuss local resources, individual assistance, and public assistance: Dennis Delborgo - Director of the Office of Emergency Management (OEM) for Westchester County, New York Yokarina Duarte - Director for Intergovernmental Relations, NYC Office of Emergency Management Stephanie Dunn Ashley - American Red Cross Metro New York North To join this webinar on Tuesday, September 14th at 6:00 p.m. ET click the link below or call the number listed and provide the Webinar ID and passcode when prompted.
