Twelve videoclips and information pertain to flooding in a section of New Rochelle, NY (a small city in Westchester County, NY - north of Manhattan) near the center of town that happened mainly as a result of several inches of rain during a nor-easter on the weekend including Sunday 4/15/07. The videos were taken on Tuesday 4/17/07 by Frank Sisco with the verbal permission of the individuals. The main intent was to provide a record of what happened and the thoughts and feelings of the individuals, including an expression of their hopefulness, sense of community and remaining needs. Organizations such as FEMA (Federal Emergency Assistance Agency) are already helping with grants and low-interest loans, and various insurance companies and governmental agencies, but other organizations and individuals are invited to help with money, assistance, and other ways. For more information, please contact Frank Sisco at 914.740.4422 or by email to ideasmoney@aol.com. Frank Sisco will gather the responses to this appeal and provide them to the City of New Rochelle, Office of the Mayor Noam Bramson, or other designated party. (Also for a lot more info (including archived items, hearing notices, info about disaster aid, etc.) go to the City of New Rochelle website at www.newrochelleny.com and to Frank Sisco's website at www.VideoVoom.com, then look under the "Events" category and click on the link for "Disasters."
