Damages Caused by Irene? City Offers Advice

From the City:

The City of Hoboken Office of Emergency Management advises residents and businesses who were impacted by Hurricane Irene to document all damages and repair costs and save all receipts.

The federal government is still in the process of making damage assessments in New Jersey. This includes aerial surveys and door-to-door evaluations. The Zimmer Administration is advocating strongly, along with federal elected representatives, for a major disaster designation to allow affected individuals in Hudson County to be eligible for federal assistance. Representatives from FEMA will be in Hudson County this weekend to assess the damage. The Zimmer Administration is working with Hudson County and advocating as strongly as possible that federal officials visit Hoboken. Residents or businesses who were impacted and wish to make their homes or businesses available for potential visits by FEMA may provide their name, address, and contact information to OEM Coordinator Joel Mestre by emailing jmestre@hobokennj.org (preferred) or calling 201-852-5446.
