We are still
witnessing the catastrophic damage a pair of hurricanes left behind in the
United States and across the Caribbean.
Hurricane Fiona left more than 1 million people in Puerto Rico and the
Dominican Republic without power or clean water and experts believe the total
cost of the damage will be several billion dollars.
Hurricane Ian left all of Cuba and its 11 million residents without power, but
the process of rebuilding has already begun in these countries.
A lot of that work connects right back to Westchester, the Hudson Valley and
New York. The state immediately stepped up to offer equipment and people to aid
their recoveries. And many local organizations have also answered the call with
volunteers, food, shelter, and clean water.

joined by Westchester County Legislator Jose Alvarado to discuss the help being
sought and how it’s being rolled out.
