URGENT: Seneca Lake Shoreline Damage

Due to elevated water levels on Seneca Lake, combined with continued wind-driven wave action, shoreline erosion and dock damage remain serious risks across the region. The New York State Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Services has offered to come as soon as tomorrow to inspect damage, and they need addresses to review. Even with a short delay requested, residents must report damage now so locations can be included.

If your property has been impacted, please email your address, a brief description of the damage, and photos if possible to your county, and copy us on the email:

Schuyler County: [email protected]
Ontario County: [email protected]
Seneca County: [email protected]
Yates County: [email protected]
Copy: [email protected]

This information will directly support coordination with state officials and help ensure impacted areas are assessed. The faster damage is reported, the faster support can be brought to the region. Please share immediately!

Due to the incoming rain today and tomorrow of about 1-1.4”, on Thursday, Seneca Lake is expected rise another 3.6” from its current recent high level. Medium to high southerly winds are expected today, but will shift to northerly, but will generally be low or moderate. As this is a new high level event, please take appropriate measures.
