Paterson Wants More FEMA Money

Governor David Paterson is urging FEMA to authorize individual assistance for the Western New York communities affected by flooding early last month, and has called on the state Congressional delegation to work toward the same goal.

On Tuesday, President Obama declared Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Erie counties eligible for federal disaster assistance for emergency work, repairs and replacements to the flood-damaged roads, bridges, and other public properties.

Paterson is asking that FEMA approve assistance to homeowners, renters and small businesses in those areas.
