A police officer whose employment records and family memorabilia were accidentally carted off after Tropical Storm Irene cannot hold a local municipality liable, a Brooklyn appellate court said.
Rockland County resident David Katz followed advisories to evacuate as the storm approached the area in August 2011. When he returned to his Clarkstown home, he put family items and his awards and records as an officer in the driveway to air out. A town official told him bulk garbage pick-up would start in about a week.
