Hundreds of search and rescue teams have combed Lavallette, Ortley Beach, Seaside Heights, Seaside Patk and South Seaside Park and have found no fatalities connected to Hurricane Sandy, officials say.
Paul Daley, deputy coordinator of the Office of Emergency Management in Toms River, said he doesn't expect the number to change.
Search-and-rescue teams knocked on doors twice and three times at residences on the barrier islands, Daley said. They went door-to-door and marked those locations as they went.
"These rescue teams are professionals. They went room by room multiple times. This was extremely thorough," Daley said.
Contrary to rumor, the A&P supermarket in Ortley Beach has been boarded up since the evacuation more than a week ago, officials say.
Daley said there is still a missing persons situation, but it's unclear whether residents went to stay with their relatives when they evacuated, or did whatever they could to leave.
Daley praised the work of local teams and those assisting from far-away communities. He thanked residents who heeded the evacuation.

Thanks, and I saw my house intact! All the best to everyone, and God Bless!
Island Access November 5th, 2012 We truly apologize for any bad information out there, but sadly Seaside Heights remains closed to anyone but essential personnel. We will have a plan by Wednesday (Nov 7th) night that should allow limited access by this Friday (Nov 9th). Take care and sorry for all of our losses.

It'll be safer to carry a AK47 all day..oh yeah..under the boardwalk ( now under the sea) oh yeah..still making love with the very one I see...OH YEAH! BE HAPPY..LIFE GOES ON!
Noticed your name popping up in newspaper articles. It's a shame so little info is coming from the town. WHAT TOWN WOULD RESPOND TO ITS RESIDENTS IN THIS WAY The city website barely is updated I own in ssh also. It would be good for all of us to get together and use the media and state to pressure ssh to make it into the town we all want it to be when the rebuilding happens. This would be a perfect time while Gov Christie and the world is watching.
This is crazy There is an attorney in Toms River that is taking names for those interested in creating a class action suit against SSH. The town needs to have leaders that wont make it a shit hole. While we still have a chance, we need to get together and protest in order to have this town get on track. Let's get the state involved The time is now. For anyone interested, contact: nickdetoronto@rocketmail.com send a pdf pertaining to what needs to be done in SSH. The poorest quality of life for residents 1)Close bars early 12 pm 2) revitalize the boardwalk 3) end the drunks roaming the streets 4) propose a boardwalk rebuilding plan approved by a real city board made up of Additional panel members. 5) account for all beach fares etc WE NEED A CHANGE People- The mayor want s to keep the roller coaster in the ocean. Does that tell you the mentality of this town.
As bury Park has done a great job in cleaning up their boardwalk. Maybe Seaside should invoke eminent domain to get rid of all those scum suckers you referred to. That's just what that town does NOT need.
howd you make out with the election? you know Mittens thinks fema is immoral look s like you hypocrite republicons got luck
The class action is simply new rules that obviously the current management doesnt want to bend for. 1) close the bars at 12 not 4 2) ENFORCE NOISE ORDINANCES 3) Enforce building codes and subcodes... . 4) Account for beach fares/ meters and other CASH transations 5) inspect the hotels. OTHER ITEMS How about creating a business plan and draw in nice restaurants that are open year round WE NEED TO MAKE A STATEMENT NOW ,,,,,NOT TOMORROW. Otherwise we will be staring at a roller coaster in the ocean. This town has little vision. Make it into Contact nickdetoronto@rocketmail.com and make a difference
