With New Storm Approaching, Insurance Companies Will Have To ...

With a noreaster bearing down on a still recovering? New York, insurance companies will have to accept photographic proof of damage from last week's Superstorm Sandy, Gov. Cuomo said.

Cuomo called the approaching storm due Wednesday "serious."

"But under normal conditions, it would not be problematic," he said.

It' is made more complicated because New York has not recovered from last week's blast, with some communites still having no power or continuing to deal with flooding.

"It's a complicated situation," he said.

"When it rains it pours and when it storms, you get more storms, I guess," Cuomo mused.

?The governor warned there are large amounts of debris in front of people's homes that could cause problems if not picked up before Wednesday's expected storm.

The debris consists largely ruined items like furniture, clothes, bedding and food materials that people removed from their houses after last week's devastating storm but have to keep as proof for the insurance companies.

Cuomo said that debris could cause major problems when the next storm hits this week.

That resulted in the state, which regulates insurance companies, requiring them to accept lists of damages and photographic proof from the property owners.

Cuomo then signed an executive order requiring local governments to pick up the debris and dispose of it by Wednesday's expected storm. He said the federal government has agreec to pick up the costs.

"We believe this is a public health emergency," Cuomo said.
