Centers open for Hurricane Sandy victims to pre-register, April 20 and 27

Nassau County and New York State will again host a pre-registration assistance program this Saturday at three Nassau County Disaster Recovery Centers for Hurricane Sandy victims. The implementation of New York State programs, administered by Nassau County, has been moving forward with the understanding that funds, although approved by the United States Congress, are still not yet available and details of the programs are still being developed and may change before a final version of the programs are released.

“Working with Governor Cuomo and his staff, we are pleased to offer pre-registration assistance to prepare residents to apply for vital recovery programs,” said County Executive Mangano. “I encourage all of the residents and business owners eligible for Sandy recovery programs to visit the website and to stop by one of the Disaster Recovery Centers this Saturday to complete the pre-application process.”

All residents are encouraged to visit www.NYSANDYHELP.NY.gov to begin the pre-application process. New York State and Nassau County are also manning Disaster Recovery Centers to assist applicants from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. on Saturday, April 20th and Saturday, April 27th at the following locations:

Long Beach Recreation Center and Ice arena, 700 Magnolia Blvd, Long Beach

Island Park Village Hall, 127 Long Beach Road, Island Park

Cedar Creek Park, Merrick Road, Seaford
