Whether we live here year-round, or spend our summers here, most of us in coast Ocean and Monmouth counties, and Bay Head and Mantoloking in particular, are still coping with the aftermath of Hurricane (Superstorm) Sandy. As you may know, though it is often referred to as “Hurricane” Sandy, by the time Sandy hit the New Jersey coast, it was no longer technically classified as a hurricane. This is due to the fact that it was no longer considered to be “tropical.”
Things in Bay Head and Mantoloking have improved a lot over the last few months, but there is still a long way to go. There are many homes that still need to be renovated or rebuilt, and unfortunately, many that still must be demolished.
Though there are many storm recovery resources both on and offline, we’ve compiled a few online ones that may be particularly useful or interesting to you.
Flood Smart – The National Flood Insurance Program’s official website (flood insurance, flood maps, and more)
FEMA Region II – Coastal Analysis and Flood Mapping – (flood Maps, flood zone information, fact sheets, and more)
Coping with Saltwater Flooding – An article from the Rugters Agricultural Extension regarding the impact of saltwater on plants and landscaping
If you have any questions, or need additional information, please feel free to ask – we have many resources available to us regarding flood insurance, home owner’s insurance, real estate values, and more – and if we don’t have the answer, we can point you in the right direction.
