In mid-July, New York hosted a conference designed to address the state’s ongoing storm rebuilding efforts. As long-time NY public adjusters, we made it a point to pay attention to what occurred. With that said, here’s a look at storm recovery resources New Yorkers may want to avail themselves of now and in the future:
Storm Recovery Grants
Grants were one of the topics covered at the conference. The good news is that there is money available for both eligible residential and small business owners that haven’t fully recovered from previous storms. It is part of the New York Rising Disaster Recovery Programs that were recently put into place. However, funds are limited so those interested in taking advantage of the program should act quickly.
Storm Buyout Program
In addition, there is also a storm buyout program available for eligible New Yorkers as well. It is designed to help residents sell their properties and relocate to other areas. Like the recovery program grants, there is an application process involved and funds are limited.
NY Public Adjusters
Given that, residents would also do well to contact a Public Adjuster in New York. They can help New Yorkers recover after a storm in a variety of ways. Take our firm, Equitable Public Adjusters & Appraisers as a prime example. We can help New Yorkers seek equitable compensation from their insurance companies and point out additional resources like the ones mentioned above.
In addition, we can help re-open old NY insurance claims that may have not been settled fairly. Once the claims are re-opened, we can provide further assistance by trying to secure appropriate settlement on behalf of New York’s home and business owners. For a look at our track record in that regard, take a look at our list of recoveries. We are sure that New Yorkers will be impressed with our results. For example, one Hurricane Sandy victim was offered slightly over $9,794 in compensation. We stepped in and helped change that recovery figure to more than $45,000.
