There are websites like click2cause.com that allow you to set up an account for free, you can use paypal or any credit card to collect donations online. They allow you to share it on all your social media on the spot. Someone involved in the shul should set up an acount.

All shuls must have insurance but insurance does not cover floods. For that, you need to purchase a separate flood insurance policy from the Fedral government which not many people do, since when did NY have a flood of this magnitude in recent memory. I guess this kind of storm caught everyone by surprise.

Go to http://www.disasterassistance.gov for immediate assistance and then set up a fundraising page on social media sites giving easy access to contributors to help you with paypal etc .Everything will be ok and things will be better than before just have faith in Hashem that everything is for a higher good even if it doesnt seem that way at first.

If the Agudah did not have flood insurance, they are probably out of luck.

What about FEMA? They aren’t able to get federal assistance?

From the picture, and the fact the building appears to be in area prone to flooding, perhaps they should design the building on “stilts” as if often done in areas that are subject to flooding.

While living near the ocean is nice (more pleasant climate than inland – except for hurricanes), if you live along the Atlantic Coast you need to anticipate flooding caused by tropical storms.
