Residents in Rockland and Orange counties affected by last month's flooding will receive assistance from a National Relief Fund, providing some relief to those whose lives were disrupted by the disaster.
As massive cleanup continues in parts of Rockland and Orange counties, one month after floods devastated parts of the area, help is on the way.
As a result, homeowners and renters can get up to $2,000 to help cover repairs or hotel costs. The money will be available fast. For resident Brian Fredrickson, who already spent some $50,000 repairing his flood ravaged home, the news couldn't have come at a better time. There's been significant progress to the area's infrastructure - the Popolopen Bridge near Bear Mountain is open again.
