New York Army National Guard Sgt. Alfredo Alvorado and his Soldiers from Company F, 427th Brigade Support Battalion help to recover a Nassau County Emergency Response vehicle along the sand-filled shorefront roads here Oct. 30. The unit high axle vehicles provided evacuation support to Long Beach residents in areas now inaccessible by other first responder vehicles. The National Guard response force is part of Governor Cuomo’s callup of more than 2,200 troops in response to subtropical storm Sandy which struck New York City and Long Island Oct. 29.  The National Guard has been supporting local emergency responders in and around Long Beach to assist residents coping with the severe flooding caused by the 10 foot storm surge.
