Senator Charles J. Fuschillo, Jr. (R-Merrick) today partnered with Supervisor Kate Murray in assisting residents with filing insurance claims for Hurricane Irene damage.

          The program, sponsored by the New York State Insurance Department, came to the Merrick Road Town Park in the department’s mobile office van to give advice and assistance to residents who sustained damage to their property as a result of Hurricane Irene. The mobile van will continue to help residents until 8 P.M. tonight.

          “Hurricane Irene damaged many homes and properties across Long Island as it passed through earlier in the week. Today, we were able to provide residents with some assistance in filing their insurance claims as a result of the storm. I am glad we were able to offer individuals help in what can sometimes be a complex process,” said Senator Fuschillo.

          Anyone with questions can call Senator Fuschillo’s office at 516-882-0630.
