SIA Newsletter 11 7 2012 - More Information on FEMA Assistance; Nor'easter; No Lost & Found

To All Strathmere and Whale Beach Homeowners and Visitors,

Yesterday morning we sent out information provided by Upper Township on applying for FEMA assistance and on requesting a grant to raise a flooded house.

 Attached is an e-mail message from Lynn Fayter containing many helpful links. She emphasizes that anyone with storm damage, regardless of income or insurance coverage should register at:
www.disasterassistance.gov

People can apply online or visit the local center in the Cape May Court House Public Library, 30 Mechanic street, CMCH. They provide immediate assistance with motels, rental money, food and clothing allowance, plus low interest loans and much, much more.

Lynn asks that we please emphasize how important it is to apply. Please take time to check out the email below.

*****************************************

 
The Wednesday - Thursday Nor'easter (with snow today, yet), goes on as we write this.
Seems limited to "minor" tidal flooding here so far, and appears it won't get worse than that at the morning (2:30 am) high tide.


*****************************************************

We announced that we will be use these newsletters to provide a "lost and found" service as a result of the storm. To date, we have received no requests.
Please provide any such info to sia6@comcast.net

From Lynn Fayter:
Please forward this to members. It is advisable for everyone with or without flood insurance to apply. It can be done online or at the CMCH Public Library. Online is easy, I did it and heard from them via phone the same day.
Thanks, Lynn
