State Senator Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. Statement on Fema Announcement to Review Sandy Claims
Joseph P. Addabbo Jr
March 17, 2015
“FEMA's announcement it will be conducting a review for Sandy victims' insurance claims is a major development, but just the first step in ensuring my constituents and everyone affected get the recovery funding they are entitled to. I hope to work with federal officials to see this process is executed in a timely, efficient and -- above all -- fair manner. It is atrocious to even think people who lost everything in Sandy have been shortchanged or taken advantage of. First, FEMA asked for reimbursements for overpayments they mistakenly gave, and now likely fraudulent assessments – their actions are unacceptable. I hope FEMA learns from their inaccuracies and makes the internal changes needed to properly address the next emergency."
