Long Beach (11561), in the South Shore area, borders or sits near Island Park, Atlantic Beach and Point Lookout. Long Beach is a barrier-island city, incorporated in 1922 as a beach resort and surrounded by Reynolds Channel and the Atlantic.
The city sustained heavy damage during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, and most properties are in high-risk flood zones with flood insurance requirements. Fire loss commonly includes water damage, so crews handle both together. Because homes here are close together, board-up and containment after a fire protect nearby buildings as well. An exposed, fire-damaged house near the ocean takes on moisture fast, so securing it is a priority.
In practice, crews in Long Beach handle board-up, soot and odor removal, and drying of any firefighting water in one coordinated effort.
