Ovid, NY - Senator Pam Helming visited the Lodi Point area Tuesday morning, shortly after flash floods caused by torrential rains and overflowing streams devastated the southern end of Seneca County. Working with local first responders, she helped coordinate New York State's response to this emergency. Throughout the week, she has continued to visit the command center and been in regular contact with state agencies to support the first responders on the ground and help coordinate recovery efforts.

"My heart absolutely breaks for the people of southern Seneca County whose lives have been devastated and properties have been destroyed by this terrible disaster. We are grateful to the many volunteer firefighters, emergency personnel, National Guardsman, State Troopers, Sheriff's deputies, EMT's, and other first responders who immediately sprung into action. Our community and our people are strong and resilient, and together we will get through this and help one another put the pieces back together. As State Senator, I will continue to work to ensure that we get the tools and resources our community needs to recover and rebuild," Senator Helming said.
