Governor's 'Mobile Cabinet' Returns To Ocean County Friday With Sandy Help

Locals who need help dealing with Superstorm Sandy can get some answers on April 26, when the state returns with a "mobile cabinet" in Ocean County.

The event will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Berkeley Township Recreation Center at 630 Route 9 South in Bayville, said Sean Conner, a spokesman for Gov. Chris Christie's office.

Representatives from state and federal agencies will be on hand,including the Governor’s Office of Constituent Relations, the Department of Banking and Insurance, Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Community Affairs, the Business Action Center, FEMA and the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP.)

They will assist residents and discuss ongoing recovery and rebuilding efforts. Residents who need help are urged to bring paperwork dealing with any questions they may have, Conner said.

The event is open to any area residents who need help dealing with the storm's aftermath.

For example, individuals with insurance issues should bring their policies and any claims information, documentation and relevant correspondence they have.   

The cabinet tour has made more than a dozen stops in the five months since Sandy, giving residents in towns like Union Beach and Stafford the chance to meet face to face with State officials and ask questions. Representatives came to Ortley Beach in early April to speak with residents.
