West Point Academy Seriously Affected By The Flooding 

Another place that was hit hard by the flooding, was West Point Academy, in Orange County.  Senators Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand want the Army Corp of Engineers to get help in there and fast.  Schumer and Gillibrand noted that they want to avoid any stalling by federal agencies on getting relief to West Point.  The two senators are concerned that this could happen, due to a loophole about duplication of services in the disaster relief laws.  As such, Schumer and Gillibrand are pressuring FEMA and numerous military agencies to get moving on this as quickly as possible.  

In a media zoom call held at 2:00pm this afternoon, Senator Gillibrand said the following: "I spoke to the West Point Superintendent, Lt. General Steve Galland, and he said that the roads, in and out of West Point, are severely damaged.  And he said, that West Point sustained other damage that he's going to be getting a full reporting on.  I'm hoping to visit West Point over the next several days, to see it for myself, and to do whatever I can to get the resources they need."
