Dear Mr. Markey,
Our hearts go out to all the families who tragically lost loved ones and had their homes and businesses upended by Hurricane Ida. At least 27 New Jersey residents lost their lives. In a time of tragedy, New Jersey stands together to support our own.
We are immensely grateful for the first responders who have been working around-the-clock to keep our communities safe. We will do everything in our power to help families in North Jersey recover. My team and I have been working diligently with our federal partners, and with state and local officials, to assist the relief and recovery efforts.
At the urging of the entire New Jersey Congressional Delegation, President Biden has issued a Major Disaster Declaration in several New Jersey counties, including Bergen and Passaic Counties, and ordered emergency federal assistance to help families and state and local response efforts.
The good news: The President’s action makes federal funding immediately available to affected individuals and businesses in Bergen and Passaic Counties. Assistance can include grants for temporary housing and home repairs, low-cost loans to cover uninsured property losses, and other programs to help individuals and businesses recover from the effects of the disaster.
For more information or to apply for assistance, please go to: disasterassistance.gov. For additional resources please visit gottheimer.house.gov/constituent-services/stormrecovery.htm or nj.gov/ida.
Residents and business owners who sustained losses in the designated counties can also apply by calling 1-800-621-FEMA(3362). The toll-free telephone numbers will operate from 7:00AM to 10:00PM seven days a week until further notice. For FEMA disaster assistance Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), visit www.disasterassistance.gov/help/faqs.
The road to recovery from Hurricane Ida may be long, but we will get there. I am here to help. Please call me at my office in Glen Rock: 201-389-1100 or in Newton: 973-940-1117, or email me at https://gottheimer.house.gov/contact/.
