Where Massapequa Sits
Massapequa's canal neighborhoods south of Merrick Road were among the areas flooded by Sandy, and the Massapequa Preserve runs through its center. Massapequa sits on the South Shore of Long Island, with frontage on South Oyster Bay and the Massapequa canals. Massapequa is a hamlet (a Census-designated place) governed directly by the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County. By Census Bureau measurements, the hamlet covers about 3.56 square miles of land plus 0.43 square miles of water.
Neighboring communities include Massapequa Park, North Massapequa, North Wantagh and Seaford.
How Local Conditions Affect Massapequa Claims
Homes near South Oyster Bay and the Massapequa canals 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 Massapequa home is in a mapped flood zone, and keep your flood and homeowners policies together.
