The New York Times reports that Governor Cuomo is planning to ask for at least $30 billion in disaster relief from the federal government. 

We need some of this money to be allocated for immediate food, water, medicine, and other supplies.

'In making the case for federal aid, the governor’s advisers provided a staggering inventory of need ... $3.5 billion to repair the region’s bridges, tunnels and subway and commuter rail lines; $1.65 billion to rebuild homes and apartment buildings; $1 billion to reimburse local governments for overtime costs of police, fire and other emergency personnel; and several billion dollars in federal loans and grants to affected businesses.'
