Dear Long Islander,
 
After a late winter storm scare, it looks like the weekend will be warming up, and hopefully most of the remaining snow that's seen piled up around Long Island will begin its final melt. Spring is right around the corner, although it seems this year that the old March adage "in like a lion, out like a lamb" has been holding true - just as we began to see the first glimpses of Spring weather, Winter reared its ugly head for one last hurrah. Not to worry though, Long Island - warmer weather is right around the corner, with temperatures in the 40s predicted for the weekend - perfect weather to get out, and begin your Spring Cleaning, or enjoy a walk through on of Long Island's numerous parks, where wildlife is welcoming Springtime as well. 
Giving You Peace of Mind When Disaster Strikes
Making sure that your home, car, and business have the proper insurance coverage is vital for a quick recovery after disaster strikes - something that many Long Islanders learned after Superstorm Sandy. Denis A. Miller Insurance is here to help - their knowledgeable agents can help you find the right coverage for all of your needs - they specialize in problem solving, and are experts in dealing with tough insurance issues. They have successfully filed over 5000 flood claims out of their Long Beach office, and this is why they are home of "The Floodman." Flood Insurance is especially important for home owners on LI - there are many low lying areas that are prone to flooding, and this coverage is vital to protect your home, car, and valuables. If you do not already have Flood Insurance, give Denis A. Miller Insurance a call for a free quote today - it takes 30 Days for Flood Insurance to go into effect, so you want to be sure to stay on top of it! Are you a Homeowner that received FEMA Assistance as a result of Superstorm Sandy? You'll be required to purchase Flood Insurance for your home - let the experts take care of it, and rest easy knowing that everything you've worked hard for is protected, and backed by the best - Denis A. Miller Insurance.

Hot Off the Presses
LI Index Report: Results & Analysis
The State of LI Can Be Measured in Many Ways
From post-World War II through the latter half of the 20th century, Long Island was synonymous with a high quality of life, a place where the unprecedented expansion of population, housing and jobs would not only ensure the success and prosperity of future generations, but would permanently reshape the demographic, social, economic and political landscape of the area. Over time, however, Long Island’s prosperity began to wane as people who bought bigger homes and expensive automobiles were forced to travel farther to the jobs they needed to pay for them. Outdated roadways became congested, gas prices soared, taxes rose and, rather than getting ahead, Long Islanders were finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
