Flooding has been a major issue nationwide this summer, and New York has been no exception. From the flooding on the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Cross Bronx Expressway to the most recent flash flood warning for Orange County last week, Governor Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for nearly all counties in the Southern tip of New York.
The increase in the severity and frequency of these hazardous floods is leading to many to identify the causes and urge our leaders to find solutions.
Radio Catskill’s Genevieve Hartnett spoke with Sullivan County Historian John Conway about how in order to effectively address this problem, we need to look to our past.
