Seventeen New Jersey/FEMA Briefings to Begin Tuesday to Help Local Governments Who Apply for Hurricane Sandy Infrastructure Losses

TRENTON , N.J. — New Jersey emergency managers in 21 counties will be briefed by New Jersey and Federal Emergency Management officials in a series of 17 meetings beginning Tuesday to help local governments who are seeking assistance in recovering from losses caused by Hurricane Sandy.

The meetings are designed to help local government officials, and any qualifying private entities that provide public access, to understand what is needed in preparing their requests for assistance. All applicants should contact their local emergency managers for further details.

The meetings are a process of a state-federal “Public Assistance” program that is designed to deal with infrastructure storm losses. They are not public events.
