[Updated] Remnants of Sandy off Avenue C; FEMA deadline tomorrow

A quick survey of damage caused by Superstorm Sandy's floodwaters on Avenue C... Two businesses that were shut due to storm damage recently reopened — C-Town and Verso ... (Kasadela on East 11th Street near C was unable to reopen.)

Late last week, workers removed the portable boiler set up outside Eastville Gardens on Avenue C and East Eighth Street...

...now...



There's still a portable heating system set up outside the NYCHA property on East Sixth Street at Avenue C...



And from the EVG Grieve inbox ... via Paul Newell, Democratic District Leader, 65th Assembly District ...



This Wednesday, February 27th is the deadline to register for FEMA disaster recovery plans. I strongly encourage everyone impacted by Superstorm Sandy to register – as damages sustained may not yet be known, and insurance payouts may be less than predicted. Wednesday is the last day for Sandy survivors in the 13 New York counties designated for federal disaster assistance to register with FEMA and complete and return low-interest Small Business Administration disaster loan applications, an important step in the FEMA grant process.

Survivors who register may be eligible for federal grants to help cover various disaster-related expenses including rent, essential home repairs, personal property losses and other serious disaster-related needs not covered by insurance.

For more information, here's FEMA's Hurricane Sandy website.

Gov. Cuomo extended the deadline day from Feb. 27 to March 29, per The Real Deal.
