In late October, Superstorm Sandy made landfall in the Northeast, killing more than 130 people, destroying entire communities, and causing billions of dollars of damage. And our national parks were not immune to the devastation.

Please speak up for emergency funding for the parks and communities hit hardest by Sandy.

In a matter of hours, some of our greatest national treasures, like the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Governor’s Island, and Sandy Hook at Gateway National Recreation Area, were extensively damaged. Although Congress just provided $9.7 billion in immediate flood insurance funding, the region has waited an unprecedented 73 days (and counting) for more comprehensive federal relief.

Next week, the House of Representatives is scheduled to take up an emergency funding bill on Superstorm Sandy. We need your help.

Take Action: Please tell your representative to support the Frelinghuysen amendment, which provides full and fair Superstorm Sandy relief, including $398 million for rebuilding our national parks, $360 million to better rebuild coastal habitat and infrastructure in national parks and wildlife refuges to better withstand storms and reduce future storm damage, and authorization of an interagency planning process to prevent future flood and storm damage to the region.

Thank you. Your efforts will help rebuild and reopen our national treasures that were damaged by Superstorm Sandy.
