Borough of Staten Island N.Y
D.E.P., Staten Island Borough President, Does it take a national disaster to correct a long time local problem

A short vacation visit to New York (Staten Island) was turned into a wild and interesting one Due to a declared state of Emergency from the NY state mayor as well as other states on the east coast declaring the same for fear of Hurricane Irene`s arival.

Manditory evacuations were given to certain locations in threatened Zoned areas. I personally think this was very wise and a great bennefit to a great many although an inconvience to some as well. But better safe than sorry!

The problem is that a friend has had a documented flood issue for quite some time and not yet fully recovered from a recent rain period this August before Irene made a bad situation worst. But! I have been told upon asking

This issue has been an ongoing one for quite a while years in fact!
The question is Why has no one in this prominent community corrected this problem as yet.
