Assemblyman Steve Hawley (R,C,I-Batavia) Thursday joined Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul in Kendall to tour flooded areas along the Lake Ontario shoreline. Hawley, who toured several devastated locations along the shoreline last Friday, recently announced that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will be deploying an Advanced Measure Program to collect data, identify threatened areas and provide a host of other initiatives to assist flood victims. Hawley also noted that he is continuing to work with the Gov.'s office and has asked President Trump, Rep. Chris Collins and Sen. Schumer to secure federal and state funds to help families rebuild after flooding subsides.

"I was honored to accompany Lt. Gov. Hochul in Kendall today to demonstrate the chaos that has ensued from the lake's flooding over the past several weeks," Hawley said. "I am hopeful that the Army Corps of Engineers will continue to mitigate further damage and protect residents and businesses from further destruction. This is a perilous time for our community and I will continue to monitor the situation and assist residents in any way possible. Please do not hesitate to call my office with any concerns or questions."
