UPDATE: Long Branch OEM Continuing to Aid Residents

The Long Branch Office of Emergency Management (OEM) and Red Cross are continuing to offer food, fuel and other goods for city residents.

The OEM is handing out water, canned food and ice at Union Avenue near the Long Branch Fire Department Headquarters. This service is for Long Branch residents only.

Interested parties are being asked to bring proof of residency to receive goods from the OEM.

The OEM also has a truck dispensing gasoline on Monday at the corner of Union and Rockwell Avenues. This service is free of charge and is for approved containers only, not vehicles.

City residents can also go to the Long Branch Public Library at 328 Broadway from noon until 7:00 PM if they need a computer/Internet to apply for Disaster Assistance from FEMA.

Monmouth University also has a Verizon Wireless Mobile Charging Station where locals can bring any device and have it charged. Those who wish to use the service should bring their own personal wall charger.
