Adding insult to the injury of trying to recover following a natural disaster is having to quickly become an expert in storm damage remediation.
Should you raise your house? Who's a reputable mold remediator? And just who is paying for all of this?
Tonight, Little Silver will host a town hall-style meeting to try to get answers to the many questions facing residents whose homes were damaged during the storm. The meeting starts at 8 p.m. and will be held in the Markham Place School cafetorium.
On hand at the Dec. 11 meeting will be representatives from FEMA, the Small Business Administration and the borough's tax assessor.
Prior to the meeting, borough officials would like to hear from residents what questions they would like to ask those representatives as they attempt to rebuild after Sandy.
Please include all of your questions in the comments section below and they will be addressed at the meeting.
2. For the "substantially damaged" (over 50%), all literature is stating "required to raise". Does raising and home repair need to be done together ? Meaning, can these folks repair their home interiors now, and raise later ? If so, what will be the time limit re:raising. After Katrina, I believe the people had several YEARS timeline to complete the (mandatory) raising.
