In the wake of Hurricane Sandy, many New Jersey residents continue to struggle with their insurance companies, the impact of the newly adopted flood elevation maps, and getting their businesses back up and running, among other issues. By bringing the departments to the people, the hope is that questions and concerns can be addressed quickly and correctly.
