AND WOULD YOU LIKE TO SAY A FEW WORDS? YEAH, I HAVE A SMALL RESERVATION.

SHOULD HAVE A FOLDER.

OKAY.

UH, GOOD EVENING EVERYONE.

SO, TODAY, UH, I'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THE PSEUDONYM, , SNY.

UH, THE, THE AIM IS TO PROMOTE HEALTH FOR HUMANITY.

UH, SO TO BEGIN WITH, I WOULD LIKE TO TELL A FEW WORDS ABOUT OUR ORGANIZATION, HSS HINDU SWANG.

SO WE ARE A VOLUNTEER, UH, NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION, AND, UH, WE HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN MANY, UM, SOCIAL, UH, CAUSES.

AND THROUGHOUT THE YEAR WE ENGAGE IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES.

AND I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION THAT, UH, THE SUPERVISOR, FINER AND TOWN OF GREENBURG HAS BEEN A VERY SUPPORTING PARTNER IN ALL OUR LIKE, SOCIAL ACTIVITIES.

SO THANK YOU SO MUCH.

UM, SO JUST TO GIVE A GLIMPSE OF OUR ACTIVITIES, WE DO DO LIKE A TEACHER APPRECIATION EVENT.

UH, WE DO LIKE ALI, WHERE WE DO THE FOOD DONATION DRIVES, UH, WE HONOR FIRST RESPONDERS AND ELECTED OFFICIALS ON THE UNIVERSAL ONE NEST DAY.

UM, SO THIS IS THE PSEUDONYMS CARS.

UH, SO WE PERFORM LIKE COLLECTIVELY MORE THAN 700,000 PLUS PSEUDONYMS CARS, UH, AS A PART OF THIS HEALTH FOR HUMANITY, UH, YOGA HON.

AND WE ALSO HAVE WHAT WE CALL A SHOCK HARDS OR WEEKLY CHAPTERS ACROSS 35 STATES IN UNITED STATES.

AND, UM, WE ALSO HAVE LIKE 48 ON-CAMPUS YOUTH CHAPTERS, UH, IN VARIOUS UNIVERSITIES.

UH, SO JUST A QUICK, UH, FEW FACTS ABOUT, UH, SNY MASCAR.

UH, SO THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2012, AND THEN IT HAS BEEN ACTIVELY, UH, DONE IN 35 PLUS STATES AND TWO 90 PLUS CITIES.

MORE THAN 13,000 PEOPLE HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THIS PSY MASCAR MARATHON.

AND, UM, TEACHERS, STUDENTS AND, UM, LIKE YOGA PROFESSIONALS, UH, THEY

[00:15:01]

A PART OF THIS, UH, TOTAL MORE THAN 338,000 PSEUDONYMS CARS WERE PERFORMED ACROSS MANY CITIES, UH, WITHIN THE UNITED STATES.

UH, SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PSEU MASCAR SANITATION? SO BASICALLY IT'S A SET OF YOGA ANA, LIKE 10 ASANAS AS A PART OF ONE PSEU MASCAR.

AND THAT IS, THAT IS STILL PERFORMED AT LIKE IN THE MORNING IN THE DAWN AT, IN THE FRONT OF RISING SUN.

BUT THAT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE REQUIREMENT.

YOU CAN DO THIS EXERCISE ANYTIME OF THE DAY, AND IT'S REALLY HELPFUL FOR THE PHYSICAL ENERGY AND MENTAL AND EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL WELLBEING.

SO HERE IS A, A SMALL PHOTOGRAPH OF KIDS DOING THES, THE MASCAR, UM, AT, AT SCHOOLS.

SO, UH, THE QUESTION IS, WHY DO WE DO THIS IN JANUARY? BECAUSE EVERY JANUARY, UH, THE HINDU CELEBRATE THE DAY WHEN IT, WHICH MARKS THE CHANGE OF SEASONS AS THE SUN ENTERS THE SIGN OF, UH, CAPRIC CON AS, UH, AND IT IS ALSO CALLED AS M SANTI.

SO IT IS, IT ASSURES THE LONGER DAYS AND, UH, WINTER IS BEING RELIEVED GRADUALLY AS EVERYONE ALL OF US KNOW AS THE DAYS BECOME LONGER.

UH, SO THIS IS, UH, SOMETHING THAT BRINGS SUNSHINE IN OUR LIFE.

SO THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO, UM, CELEBRATE THIS OCCASION WITH THIS, UH, AND NOT ONLY SOMETHING THAT, UH, THAT IS GOOD, BUT ALSO GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH.

UH, SO THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS, UH, BEING DONE IN JANUARY.

UH, SOME OF THE BENEFITS OF PS SCAR SCARS, INCREASED CONCENTRATION, MEMORY, UH, REDUCE OF STRESS, UM, THE MUSCLE TONING AND, AND REDUCING IN JOINT PAINS, UH, THE SPINE STRENGTHENING, UH, INCREASING THE CAPACITY OF LUNGS AND ALSO REGULATES YOUR SLEEP AND HELPS WITH THE DIGESTIVE DISORDERS.

UH, SO YOU CAN, AS I MENTIONED, YOU CAN, THIS CAN BE PRACTICED AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY.

UM, BEST TIME IS OBVIOUSLY EARLY IN THE MORNING, UH, BUT UM, AND YOU MAY NOT SEE THE SUN.

YOU CAN LIKE PRACTICE, UH, ALTHOUGH IT IS CONSIDERED TO BE LIKE, UM, IN, IN RESPECT TO THE SUN, BUT IT, YOU DON'T HAVE TO SEE THE SUN TO DO THE PSEUDONYMOUS CAUSE.

AND A SLIGHT ONE CAVEAT ABOUT WHO SHOULD NOT DO THIS, LIKE SOMEONE WHO HAS BACK INJURY, BLOOD PRESSURE, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART PROBLEMS, ARTHRITIS OR WRIST INJURY, UH, THEY SHOULD LIKE NOT DO IT WITH FULL INTENSITY.

UH, SO IT'S A PSEUDONYMS CAR CONSISTS OF LIKE 10 ASANAS.

SO I HAVE MY DAUGHTER , SHE'S A, A FIFTH GRADER AT LEY MIDDLE SCHOOL.

AND SO SHE WILL DO A QUICK DEMONSTRATION, UM, OF, OF ONE SINGLE YOU CAN.

SO I'LL SAY THE NAME OF THE ASANA AND UH, SHE WILL, UH, SHE WILL DO THE POSE.

SO FIRST ASANA IS PRAYER POSE OR .

SECOND ONE IS CALLED RAISE ARM POSE, OR YOU BREATHE IN WHEN YOU DO THIS.

THE THIRD ONE IS HAND TO FOOT POSE WHERE YOU BREATHE OUT.

THE FOURTH ONE IS CALLED AS ASH, OUR EQUESTRIAN POSE WHERE YOU BREATHE IN AGAIN, THE FIFTH ONE IS CALLED AS BLANK POSE OR ANA, THE SIXTH ONE IS CALLED AS ANG.

SO EIGHT POINTS OF YOUR BODY ARE TOUCHING THE GROUND IN THIS ASANA.

SO HERE YOU HOLD YOUR BREATH.

THE NEXT ONE IS CALLED AS A COBRA POSE, BOSAN.

HERE YOU BREATHE IN AGAIN.

THE NEXT ONE IS DOWNWARD FACING DARK FALLS OR WAN ASAN.

UH, SO THIS IS WHERE YOU BREATHE OUT.

THE NEXT ONE IS AGAIN, SIAN POSE OR ASH, YOU BREATHE IN AGAIN.

AND UH, THEN SECOND TO LAST IS THE HAND TO FOOT POSE OR HASAN.

SO THIS IS THE NINTH STEP WHEN YOU BREATHE OUT AND AGAIN, PRAYER POSE, YOU COME BACK INTO THE PAREN.

SO THIS COMPLETES ONE PSEUDONYM CAR.

SO A SET OF PSEUDONYM CAR CONSISTS OF 13 OF THESE.

SO WITHIN ONE PSEUDONYM CAR YOU'RE GETTING THE BENEFITS OF 10 YOGAS ANANA.

SO IMAGINE LIKE, UM, HOW MUCH YOU CAN, UH, BENEFIT IT WITH IF YOU DO LIKE ONE COMPLETE SET.

AND, UH, THIS DOESN'T TAKE A LOT OF TIME.

I THINK ONE SET TAKES, I WOULD SAY BETWEEN FIVE AND 10 MINUTES.

UM, SO THE AMOUNT OF BENEFITS YOU GET THAT TIME INVESTMENT IS DEFINITELY WORTH IT.

THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I DO IT.

YES, THAT'S EXACTLY HOW I DO IT.

AND UH, AND THE LAST THING I WOULD LIKE TO MENTION IS LIKE WE HAVE THIS PSEUDONYM MASCAR MARATHON.

SO THIS IS THE CONCLUDING POINT OF OUR, UM, INITIATIVE.

SO WE ARE DOING THAT ON THIS, UH, SATURDAY, JANUARY 27TH, BETWEEN 8:30 AM AND 4:30 PM AT THE STER HILLS CONDOMINIUM.

UH, SO I THINK SUPERVISOR FINER HAD BEEN TO ONE OF OUR PREVIOUS YOGA HANDS, SO HE KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT WE DO.

SO THIS IS JUST TO, UH, SPREAD THE AWARENESS.

SO THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF THIS.

SO PEOPLE REGISTER, THEY COME, THEY REGISTER FOR A DIFFERENT TIME SLOTS, AND THEN THEY PERFORMS THE MASCARA.

SO THAT'S THE WHOLE POINT.

SO I HOPE, UM, UH, YOU WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE IT AT LEAST FOR SOME TIME TO GET A FEEL OF IT.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

GREAT JOB.

SO JUST TO BE CLEAR, THE PEOPLE THAT HAVE THAT LIST OF SIX OR SEVEN MEDICAL CONDITIONS, IT'S NOT THAT THEY CAN'T DO IT, THEY JUST SHOULDN'T DO IT AT FULL INTENSITY.

UH, YEAH, THEY SHOULDN'T

[00:20:01]

AND THEY SHOULD SEEK HELP FROM SOME MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL JUST TO MAKE SURE, LIKE SOME OF, UH, SOME SPECIFIC MOVEMENT DOES NOT LIKE WORSEN THEIR SYMPTOMS. UH, BUT IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING THAT IS NOT LIKE, THEY'RE NOT BARRED FROM DOING IT.

THEY SHOULD JUST DO IT UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION.

THANK.

HOW LONG WOULD IT TAKE TO BE HALF AS GOOD AS YOUR DAUGHTER ? I THINK IT'S PRACTICE MAKES EVERYONE PERFECT.

THAT'S WHAT I WOULD SAY.

YEAH.

THE MORE YOU PRACTICE, UH, THE MORE, UH, EASILY YOU COULD DO IT.

SHE IS A GYMNAST ALSO, SO SHE, SHE HAS LIKE LITTLE MORE FLEXIBILITY THAN ALL OF US.

YOU GOT A, YOU MAKE IT LOOK SO EASY, GYMNAST.

SO THAT, THAT'S GOOD.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THANK YOU.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

YOU WELCOME.

YOU CAN TAKE AN ENVELOPE SO IT DOESN'T GIVE WHERE WE GOT YOU AN ENVELOPE RIGHT THERE, THERE YOU CAN SEE YOU GO.

SO, OKAY.

WE'RE COMPLIMENTS OF THE, UH, TOWN CLERK, OFFICE TOWN CLERK OFFICE.

YES.

WE'RE, WE'RE VERY LUCKY TO HAVE WITH US, UH, JIM FILLER, JIM KIERAN OF THE FILLER CENTER.

AND, UM, AS EVERYBODY HERE KNOWS, UM, OVER THE YEARS, UM, WE'VE HAD SIGNIFICANT FLOODING, UH, AROUND THE TOWN.

AND THERE'S, UM, ONE COUPLE KIMONA HANSSEN, UH, THEY'VE BEEN HOMELESS, UM, FOR OVER TWO YEARS SINCE IDA AND, UM, THEY'VE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH ME ON A REGULAR BASIS.

UM, AND WE'VE TRIED LIKE EVERYTHING.

AND THEN A COUPLE MONTHS AGO, UM, I SAW JIM, UM, AT, UM, AT AN EVENT AND HE SAID, OH, THE FILLER CENTER IS WILLING TO, UM, HELP, UH, VICTIMS OF, UM, OF FLOODING.

SO, UM, I CALLED JIM AND, UM, INSTEAD OF SAYING NO OR JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS, HE HAD A TEAM OF, UH, VOLUNTEERS SPENDING, UM, SO FORTH.

IT'S BEEN OVER TWO WEEKS HELPING TO, UM, RESTORE A HOUSE.

UM, UH, I, YES, TERRANCE, UH, BRAZEN OF OUR CABLE STUDIO, IF FROM WE NEWS 12 DID A LITTLE, UH, A VIDEO ON ABOUT, UH, THE FILLER CENTER AND WHAT THEY DID AND, UM, TARN, OH, LET'S SAY IT'S NO SIGNAL.

HE'S, HE'S GOING TO TELL ME WHEN THE PRESS PLAY, BUT I, I SORT OF THOUGHT IF YOU SAW THE VISUALS, YOU'LL GET A SENSE OF WHAT, WHAT HE'S DONE.

BUT EVEN MORE IMPRE, UH, IN ADDITION TO HELPING, UM, JIM ASKED ME, UM, UH, TO IDENTIFY SOME FAMILIES, UH, WHO NEEDED SANDBAGS AND, UM, ABOUT 50 FAMILIES, UH, GOT THE SANDBAGS, UH, FROM THE FILLER CENTER, HAVE NO COST.

AND INSTEAD OF JUST DROPPING THEM OFF HERE, UM, JIM AND HIS TEAM DROPPED THEM OFF AT PEOPLE'S HOMES.

UM, AND THIS WAS ON LIKE 24 HOURS NOTICE.

THAT MAKES ME A SAND BERGER, PAUL .

THAT'S RIGHT, SADLY TO SAY.

ANYWAY, I JUST, IT'S AN HONOR TO BE, I, I, I HAVE A LOT OF FACES HERE AND I, I'LL DEDICATE THIS TO, UH, REVEREND AND BETTY SCANTLEBURY.

I KNOW PEOPLE REMEMBER THEM AND HERB SCHEIN AND ED OLIVER AND PAT LANZA, AND THIS IS ACTUALLY COMING BACK HOME FOR ME WHERE I WORKED ON ONE OF OUR FIRST HOMES YEARS AGO, OUR MILLION LINDA FULLER WERE THE FOUNDERS OF HABITAT.

EVERYONE THOUGHT IT WAS PRESIDENT CARTER, BUT WITH HIM FIVE TIMES, IT'S NOT A COMPETITION WITH HABITAT.

BUT 91 OF US CHANGED OUR NAME.

WE BUILT 8,000 HOMES IN 18 YEARS NOW.

AND, UH, SO OUR MAIN MISSION IS HOME OWNERSHIP.

WE HAD NINE FAMILIES PAY OFF THEIR INTEREST FREE, NO DOWN PAYMENT, MORTGAGE, ANYONE WANTED AN INTEREST FREE MORTGAGE, NO DOWN PAYMENT.

AND, UH, RIGHT, WE ALL DO.

SO, UH, BUT WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF VOLUNTEERS.

UH, 17 YEARS AGO WHEN THE MA MERRICK FLOOD HIT, I WAS THERE, UH, ON THE GROUND THAT MORNING.

AND I, I ALWAYS TELL OUR VOLUNTEERS, IF THERE'S A FLOOD, IF THERE'S A DISASTER, WILL YOU HELP ME? SO I HAVE A BUILT-IN ARMY OF DISASTER VOLUNTEERS, THOUSANDS.

AND WE BUILT, UH, KNOCKED DOWN A HOME AND BUILT IT A ABOVE THE, UH, FLOODLINE.

AND FOUR TIMES IN MA THAT WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD HAS FLOODED.

THESE, OUR HOMES THAT WE BUILT DID NOT.

UM, SO I, I BUY DEFAULT.

I'VE BECOME A FLOOD RESILIENT DISASTER EXPERT.

WHAT I LEARNED THERE, I WENT TO HURRICANE SANDY AND THE ROCKAWAYS AND HAD 18,000 VOLUNTEERS OVER FOUR YEARS, SET UP A COMMAND CENTER AT, UH, FORT TILDEN HAD THE ARMY WAREHOUSE, AND YOU GUYS DIDN'T ALL SEE IT.

SO I'VE BEEN BUSY IN THE MEANTIME.

UH, UH, UH, AND WE, WE COVER A 50 MILE RADIUS.

WE HELPED THAT FAMILY IN HIGHLAND FALLS, WHOSE DAUGHTER DIED IN THE FLOOD.

AND IF YOU REMEMBER THAT STORY UP BY WEST POINT, ACTUALLY WEST POINT WILL BE VOLUNTEERING HERE WITH US IN MARCH.

AND SO WE ARE, WE, UH, THESE ARE INTERESTING TIMES.

SO OUR, OUR, OUR MODEL THIS YEAR, HOW DID WE CREATE AND KEEP AN INTERGENERATIONAL NEW YORK? HOW DO WE LET OUR KIDS, OUR GRANDKIDS, OUR GREAT GRANDKIDS, HOW DO WE PRESERVE OUR HOME? IF YOU'RE IN A FLOOD AREA, THERE'S A LOT OF STUFF THAT HAS TO BE DONE.

WE ALL KNOW THAT.

AND IT'S DIFFICULT FOR ANYONE, ANY TOWN, ANY MUNICIPALITY, AND THEY OVERLAP.

AND THAT, THAT'S PART OF THE COMPLEXITY OF, OF WHAT

[00:25:01]

BUT WE WANT EVERYONE TO HAVE THE MOST FLOOD RESILIENT HOME THAT THEY CAN HAVE.

AND SO WE'RE EXPERTS ON THAT.

THERE'S PRODUCTS THAT YOU CAN USE INSTEAD OF SHEET ROCK, UH, SANDBAGS PEOPLE SOMETIMES POO-POOED WITH 'EM.

BUT IF YOU ASK THE BUSINESSES AND THE, AND THE HUNDREDS OF HOMEOWNERS THAT WE GAVE OUT A THOUSAND SANDBAGS TO, AND YOU SEE PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE MIDWEST PUTTING, YOU KNOW, UH, BANKS OF SANDBAGS UP, THERE'S A REASON.

AND NOW THERE'S MORE PRODUCTS THAN SANDBAGS.

AND WE'RE EXPERTS ON THOSE.

UH, LEARNING ABOUT, UH, SHARING INFORMATION WITH THAT.

THIS MORNING WE WERE IN HARTSDALE LOOKING AT SOMEONE HAD NO HEAT.

THE THE, UH, UH, WE'RE EXPERTS ON REBUILDING GREEN.

WE WERE THE FIRST ONE TO PUT SOLAR PIANOS ON A BUILDING ON MAIN STREET IN OUR SHELF.

WE'RE BUILDING PASSIVE HOMES.

UH, PASSIVE HOMES IS CODE IN EUROPE, OUR ARCHITECT KNOWS ABOUT, UH, ARCHITECT.

RIGHT? UH, UH, AND WE TOOK AN OLD QUAKE AT CHURCH IN CHAPPAQUA AND BUILT IT INTO TWO CONDOS, PASSIVE HOMES, UH, TRIPLE PANE WINDOWS.

UM, WE BUILT A HOUSE 25 YEARS AGO AT BOB VILLA AND, UH, ON NATIONAL TV.

AND NOW THERE ARE NINE HOMES THERE.

SO I'VE BEEN DOING THIS FOREVER AND I'M USUALLY IN SHORTS AND A T-SHIRT, LIME GREEN T-SHIRT WITH A HAT ON WITH, WITH MY VOLUNTEERS WHERE I'M HAPPIEST.

BUT IT'S A GREAT ON, HOPEFULLY NOT IN THIS KIND OF WEATHER.

YES.

YEAH.

OH YEAH.

SO WE, WE HAD ON MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY, WE HAD ALPHA PHI ALPHA, WE HAD ARDSLEY HIGH SCHOOL VOLUNTEERS.

UH, WE'LL HAVE TWO HIGH SCHOOLS VOLUNTEER.

THE BEST THING I DID 30 YEARS AGO WAS CREATE CLUBS IN SCARSDALE AND EDGEMONT AND ARDSLEY.

I NEED ONE AT WOODLAND HILLS.

AND, AND TO GET THE KIDS COLLEGES KIDS BUILT WITH US, COMPANIES BUILT WITH US.

EVERY CHURCH AND SYNAGOGUE VOLUNTEERS WITH US.

EVERYBODY HAS A HOME IN NEW YORK.

THIS IS A A, A REALLY, I DON'T WANNA BE GROUNDHOG DAY ALL THE TIME.

I DON'T WANNA KEEP REDOING FLOOD HOMES.

AND I DO THINK WE'VE OVERDEVELOPED SOUTH OF THE TAP AND Z BRIDGE AND IT'S A BIG STATE.

SO WE, WE WE'RE EXPERTS.

IF ANYONE NEED HELP ON THEIR HOME, WE'RE GOOD TO PROMISE NOTHING.

WE GO OUT AND LOOK AT IT LIKE WE DID QUICKLY.

GOT AN EMAIL FROM PAUL, I WENT OUT, UH, THIS MORNING AND WE'RE THERE BY NINE 30 AT, AT A HOME THAT THE KIDS HAVE NO HEAT.

AND WE DO THAT ALL THE TIME.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET WHEN, UH, AND, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, THE VALUE FEMA SAID TO ME, WE GAVE $9 MILLION OF VOLUNTEER LABOR TO THE ROCKAWAYS.

WE DON'T ALWAYS PUT AN EQUATION TO WHAT OUR VOLUNTEERISM CAN DO, BUT WE KNOW, AND I'VE SEEN MANY GREAT EFFORTS HERE OVER THE YEARS.

ALSO, LOIS BRONZE, I WANNA REMEMBER LOIS IN MY TALK, WHO WAS A BIG ADVOCATE FOR HOMES.

SO, UM, THAT'S IT.

UM, YOU KNOW, AND IF ANYBODY NEEDS HELP, YOU CAN EMAIL DART DART, WHICH STANDS FOR DISASTER ASSISTANCE RESPONSE TEAM@FULLERCENTERNY.ORG.

WE ARE JUST HONORED TO BE HERE.

AND, UH, YOU KNOW, IF YOU NEED SANDBAGS, EMAIL ME.

WE DO TAKE DONATIONS, HELP TRY TO COVER THOSE COSTS.

UM, BUT, UM, YOU KNOW, WE, WE, WE, UH, WE JUST, AND WE WANT EVERYONE TO LEARN HOW TO BUILD.

AGAIN, WE'RE ALL ADDICTED TO OUR CELL PHONE AND THE COMPUTERS.

AND, UH, I WANT CEOS COME OUT OF GREENBERG AND OUT OF THEODORE YOUNG, UH, WHO KNOW HOW TO MAKE THINGS.

AND, UH, KIDS LOVE GETTING A HAMMER IN THEIR HAND.

UH, AND PARENTS, WE HAVE A BUILDER'S CAMP AND PARENTS WANNA TO, UH, HAVE THEIR KIDS LEARN.

SOME PARENTS WANT US TO KEEP THEIR KIDS.

WE DO NOT DO THAT.

, UH, UH, BUT, UH, BUT, UH, YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS TEACHING AND WE'RE ALWAYS CREATING ANOTHER PART OF THE ARMY.

SO, YOU KNOW, UH, IT'S, IT'S AN IMPORTANT VITAL THING.

AND BUILDING, IF I HAVE MY OWN CASTLE, MAKE IT YOUR MOST FLOOD RESILIENT HOME THAT YOU CAN FOR ALL THE PEOPLE.

I KNOW HOW THIS GOES OUT TO WHERE IT GOES.

BUT IN THE MEANTIME, WHILE ALL OF YOU DO DIFFICULT WORK OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT OR RECONFIGURE WHAT WAS DONE YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW, EVERY TIME YOU PUT A PARKING LOT DOWN, THE WATER'S GOTTA RUN SOMEWHERE.

UH, YOU KNOW, THE, YOU KNOW, SO THERE'S A LOT THAT'S OUT THERE.

AND, UH, UH, YOU KNOW, CAN WE REBUILD NEW YORK GREEN, UH, MORE FLOOD RESILIENT AND YOU GUYS HAVE CHALLENGES, BUT WE'RE THERE FOR THE HOMEOWNER AND FOR, WE'VE EVEN LOOKED AT CO-OPS AND CONDOS.

ROCHELLE ON PALMER, A UH, THEY'RE RUNNING OUT OF INSURANCE MONEY, SO THEY'RE GONNA PUT A RED LINE, A RED ZONE AROUND ALL OF OUR HOMES IF WE KEEP FLOODING.

AND INSURANCES ARE GOING TO GIVE LESS AND LESS, AND THE FLOOD INSURANCE PREMIUMS ARE GONNA BE HIGHER AND HIGHER.

AND SO, UM, YOU KNOW, ONE SIMPLE TIP, AND THEN I'LL SHUT UP.

I APOLOGIZE.

WE HAVE A CERTIFICATE FOR YOU ALSO.

IF YOU, IF YOU GOT SHEET ROCK AND USE PLASTIC PVC INSTEAD OF SHEET ROCK, YOU COULD JUST DROP IT DOWN THAT NEXT DAY.

YOU DRY IT OFF, IT GOES BACK UP INSTEAD OF HAVING REBUILD THE WHOLE THING.

AND THAT'S, SO THERE'S A LOT OF SIMPLE THINGS THAT CAN BE DONE ALONG WITH OTHER THINGS.

SO ANYWAY, JUST IN ORDER TO BE HERE, GAIL, DID YOU WANNA SAY SOMETHING? JUST, JUST SO WE, WE, WE'VE HAD SOME FAMILIES THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS, UM, SINCE HURRICANE IDA WHO LIVE ON BABBITT COURT.

AND WE ALSO HAD FAMILIES WHO LIVE HERE ON MANHATTAN AVENUE THAT WE REALLY WANNA GIVE.

I'M SURE YOU'VE HEARD OF THEIR HORRIFIC STORIES OF

[00:30:01]

RIGHT.

SO I WOULD DEFINITELY PASS THIS INFORMATION ON TO THEM BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT.

YEAH.

AND WE DELIVERED SOME TO BABA COURT AND YEARS AGO WE WERE ON BABA COURT HELPING, YOU KNOW, HELP SOME OF THOSE FAMILIES TOO.

IT'S A WHOLE NEW CROP OF HOME HOMEOWNERS THERE.

YES.

WELL, AS, AS WE SPOKE ABOUT, YOU KNOW, THE, HOPEFULLY THE LOCK WILL PROTECT, BUYER BEWARE IF YOU'RE BUYING A HOME.

NO.

AND, UH, NOT EVERYONE IS IN AN OFFICIAL FLOOD ZONE.

AND, AND HOPEFULLY YOU GET A GOOD INSPECTOR.

SO ANYWAY, JUST, UH, THANK YOU.

TEXT ME, CALL ME, EMAIL ME, LEMME GIVE YOU THE CERTIFICATE.

TERRANCE, WERE YOU ABLE, AND IF YOU ALL WANNA COME AND BUILD AND GET OUT OF THE SUITS WITH ME, ABSOLUTELY.

LET'S DO IT.

LET'S DO IT.

ZOOM, I'LL SHARE WITH YOU.

OH, SURE.

YEAH.

WE WE'RE GONNA NOW SHOW THE VIDEO OF THE NEWS 12 STORY.

THANK YOU.

THIS WAS, UH, A TIME WE WERE A HIGH SCHOOL DONATED.

AGAIN, WE WANT THE LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL, BUT HIGH SCHOOL DONATED 15 DAYS OF THEIR TIME DURING THEIR, THEIR JANUARY INTERCESSION.

SO, YOU KNOW, DURING DECEMBER WE GET A CALL, A LOT OF COLLEGES KIDS WHO COME HOME AND THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO.

SO THEY COME AND BUILD WITH US, WHICH IS, BUT DO YOU, DO YOU MENTIONED FEMA, DO YOU RELY ON FEMA MONEY? NO, BECAUSE IT TAKES FOREVER.

SEE, THAT'S THE KEY.

WE CAN YOU PLEASE GO BACK TO THE MICROPHONE.

SO REALLY FEMA IS AN SBA LOAN PROGRAM, RIGHT? AND IT'S KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, THE FEMA HAS TO GET, BE REPAID BACK AND JUST THINK OF THE AMOUNT OF DISASTERS WE'VE HAD IN THE LAST FIVE YEARS THAT FEMA HAS BEEN CALLED.

RIGHT? SO HOW MUCH MONEY CAN YOU PRINT? HOW, AND IT, IT TAKES A LONG TIME.

IF PEOPLE HAVE BEEN DENIED BY FEMA, YOU GO BACK AND YOU APPLY AGAIN, AND YOU OFTEN YOU'LL GET IT THE SECOND TIME.

THAT BECOMES LIKE COMMON.

THAT'S WHAT THEY TAUGHT EVERYONE WHEN I LEARNED IT IN SANDY.

AND I KNOW, AND I THINK KIMON AND, AND, UH, HER HUSBAND.

SO FEMA ONLY GIVES A CERTAIN AMOUNT.

WE, YOU KNOW, MAKE YOUR HOME FLOOD RESILIENT.

UM, WE ARE CAPA WE NEED TO CONTINUE TO BUILD OUR CAPACITY SO WE CAN HIT THE GROUND RUNNING IN EVERY TOWN IN MUNICIPALITY, LIKE WE HAVE, WE'VE WORKED IN SEVEN TOWNS AND CITIES AS WELL AS HIGHLAND FALLS AND ROCK AND ROCKAWAYS.

SO, UH, YOU KNOW, FEMA IS NOT THE, IT'S ONLY A PIECEMEAL, IT'S LIKE A BANDAID REALLY FOR THE LONG RUN.

AND SO EVERYONE HAS HIGH HOPES.
