Islip, NY - September 4, 2016 - Islip Town Supervisor Angie Carpenter and other local officials will announce a new website feature accessible to all Islip residents that will help families prepare for inclement weather. Simply by visiting www.islipny.gov, residents will be able to determine if their property is located in an area that is prone to flooding, or at risk of flooding during storm surges.
“Flood damage is often the most destructive element of these types of storms, and the Town has the resources to alert vulnerable residents to the risks posed by flooding,” said Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “This new feature should play a key role in every family’s preparations for weather events.”
