Copiague: Local Context
Copiague's southern neighborhoods are laced with canals that open to the Great South Bay, and many homes there flooded during Sandy. On the South Shore, Copiague lies along the Copiague canals and the Great South Bay. Copiague is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of Babylon in Suffolk County. Census figures put Copiague at roughly 3.09 square miles of land, with another 0.62 square miles of water inside its boundary.
Neighboring communities include Amityville, Gilgo, Lindenhurst and North Amityville.
How Local Conditions Affect Copiague Claims
Homes near the Copiague canals and the Great South Bay face storm surge during nor'easters and tropical storms. The wind-versus-water question decides which policy pays, which deductible applies (many Long Island policies carry a separate hurricane or windstorm deductible), and how much the homeowner recovers.
Check your address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to see whether your Copiague home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
