New York state is expected to meet the  $37 million federal threshold for reimbursement after floods tore through multiple regions of the state, Gov. Kathy Hochul on Tuesday said. 

"We will easily hit that threshold," Hochul told reporters Tuesday morning. "I have no doubt based on my on-the-ground visits to Ontario County and what I saw in Orange County and Rockland County. So many counties were affected." 

Regions of New York state were inundated with rain over the last several days, washing out roads and indefinitely shutting down Amtrak service between Albany and New York City. 

Hochul has spoken in recent days with federal officials, including the director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, as well as members of the state's congressional delegation. 

Hochul wants the money to come back to New York quickly to help reimburse the cost of damages.

At the same time, she spoke with Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer on potential resiliency money for infrastructure that has been damaged to aid vulnerable communities. 

"I want this to go quickly," she said. "So as the information is gathered by us, I want the money flowing freely."
