4. Getting Around: The six morning rush trains on the Huntington branch of the LIRR will run on a regular schedule Monday, but customers are advised to expect some cancellations and some trains operating with fewer than normal complement of cars.

5. Flooding and insurance: It is important to inspect your home for flooding, especially on the roof and basement. If you detect flooding in your home, the first step is to contact your agent or insurance company to file a claim. Next, take photos of all of the damaged property. Lastly, your adjuster will provide you a Proof of Loss form for your official claim for damages. You'll need to file this claim with your insurance company within 60 days of the flood.
