All sessions are sold out. It said that there will be 400 participants per session but the Eventbrite ticketing process only seemed to have 30 something per session. The first session was filled almost immediately after this article was posted. Are the rest of the participants "walk-in". I was able to get tickets.

The plan is for the sessions to be video taped and posted online. In addition, the township may consider another information session in the future for those unable to attend this one.

FEMA should be going into the disaster areas and filing these online forms for the weary residents! We see the residents at our volunteers events where we help them, FEMA should be there as well! This is bs. Many elderly arent computer literate and are going to lose benefits they may be entitled too.
