WHEREAS, on September 27, 1985, a severe hurricane, with winds in excess of 100 miles per hour and accompanied by destructive tidal surges, may cause coastal erosion and inland flooding in New York City, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange and Putnam Counties and contiguous areas, which may result in personal hardship, as well as extensive damage to commercial and residential properties, interruption of essential public services and utilities, erosion, and devastation of flood protection structures, and disruption of vital transportation networks;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mario M.
