They say hindsight is 20/20, and for every Jersey Shore resident and business owner who seeks to rebuild three words keep popping up in conversation: stronger, safer, and smarter.
New Jersey officials say government entities in the state have been approved for $14.2 million in federal money for three major repairs related to Superstorm Sandy.
Governor Chris Christie has announced today that New Jerseyans impacted by Hurricane Sandy now have until January 30, 2013 to register for disaster assistance through the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). At the request of the state, FEMA extended the registration deadline beyond the original 60 day window due to the magnitude of the disaster.
With forty mobile homes (with another ten on the way) awaiting deployment and around forty five units in Fort Monmouth ready for move in, FEMA and the New Jersey Division of Community Affairs are getting options ready if Sandy victims find themselves without a place to live.
