Hurricane Sandy

Federal officials are encouraging homeowners in flood-prone communities to consider elevating their houses and raising their deductibles to cut down on rising flood insurance premiums.

Not even Superstorm Sandy could wash away an historic tourist season last year in New Jersey.

The chairman of the Ocean County Republican organization says he played no role in county towns' decision to hire a debris contractor that used him as a consultant.

Owners of perpetually flooded homes could be getting bought out through the state’s Blue Acres program, provided Governor Christie receives the quarter billion in funding he’s asking for from the federal government.

You don't need me to remind you what Hurricane Sandy did to New Jersey.  We're still recovering. Please help restore New Jersey (see tab at the top of the nj1015.com home page).

The threat of blizzards is coming to a close and that’s why Assembly members Ron Dancer and Amy Handlin are sponsoring a bill that would allow towns and counties to ease costs for property taxpayers by using surplus snow funds to remove debris left by a natural disaster.

New Jersey's adoption of expanded flood maps in the wake of Superstorm Sandy has put more than 33,000 additional residential buildings in flood zones, a nearly 15 percent increase.

New Jersey Transit has approved an extra $17 million for contractors already involved in post-Superstorm Sandy repair work.

Gov. Chris Christie wants to focus the first big grant of federal aid to recover from Superstorm Sandy on helping rebuild homes for low- and moderate-income people and small businesses.
