Call 631-538-4433Shirley (11967) is in the Town of Brookhaven, on Suffolk's South Shore, close to Mastic Beach, Brookhaven and Mastic. The National Weather Service recorded record flooding along the Great South Bay during Hurricane Sandy in 2012, with surge of roughly 6 to 7 feet on the southwest Suffolk shore.
Tropical Storm Isaias in August 2020 left more than 420,000 PSEG Long Island customers without power, and outages like that leave sump pumps idle. Raised homes protect living areas, but lower-level enclosures and utility equipment remain exposed to flooding. Low elevation and a high water table near the bays make Shirley more prone to flooding than inland communities.
In practice, crews in Shirley focus on stopping the source, removing standing water quickly, and drying structure and contents to acceptable moisture levels.
