WAMC Helps Hurricane Victims
On Wednesday , August 30 , WAMC / Northeast Public Radio will hold a one-day Fund Drive from 8 a . m . to 3 p . m . to raise money for the American Red Cross relief efforts in Texas and across the Gulf Coast .
Hundreds of thousands of people have been affected by what is being called the worst flooding disaster in U . S . history . In Texas , officials are estimating that more than 30,000 people could be forced from their homes , with more than 725,000 people currently under mandatory evacuation orders and more than a million facing voluntary evacuation orders . Thousands more are being evacuated in Louisiana .
This drive does not have a monetary goal , but will only last one day .
Donations can be made on wamc . org , or by calling 1-800- 323-9262 .
Law sets up barrier to Hudson River anchorages

dead , but I want to make sure it stays dead and buried ,” said Congressman Sean Patrick Maloney in a July press release . “ Getting my bill passed is just another way we can stop this thing and learn the effects that this – or any future – proposal will have on our river and our communities .”
The Anchorages Away Act requires the Coast Guard to submit a report to the U . S . House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure detailing the impacts of the proposed anchorages on existing Superfund sites and endangered-species habitats .
The Coast Guard suspended its anchorages plan in June , after it received roughly 10,000 comments during the project ’ s public-comment period . “ I ’ ve been told by the Coast Guard that , essentially , 100 percent of those comments were negative ,” Maloney said , speaking before Congress in May .
Residents and environmental groups voiced concerns about potential threats to drinking water , river ecology , wildlife , boaters and development along the riverfront .
If the bill also passes in the U . S . Senate , it will prevent the Coast Guard from building any anchorage areas on the Hudson River , between Yonkers and Kingston , until at least 180 days after submitting the report .
Maloney ’ s bill was included as part of the Department of Homeland Security Authorization Act of 2017 . The legislation passed in the House by a vote of 386 to 41 . It was unclear on Tuesday when senators would vote on the bill .
In late June , the Coast Guard announced it would carry out a “ Ports and Waterways Safety Assessment ” to look closer at the conditions and risks associated with anchorage sites along the river . According to Maloney ’ s office , the assessment process will include working groups of stakeholders appointed by the Coast Guard .
In a July 19 letter to U . S . Coast Guard Commander Steven Poulin , Maloney asked that at least half of these stakeholders be comprised of members from “ communities along the Hudson River , impacted businesses and environmental groups .”
