FEMA Public Assistance Information Meeting Set for Thursday

The Morris County Department of Law and Public Safety and the county Office of Emergency Management will hold public assistance meetings for non-governmental businesses and nonprofit agencies including schools and libraries that have requested public assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency because of Superstorm Sandy.

Meetings are scheduled for between 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 13 at the county’s Public safety Training Academy, 500 W. Hanover Ave., in Parsippany. Each meeting is expected to last about an hour.

The meetings will afford the applicants an opportunity to discuss their individual needs and concerns with a FEMA representative, said Jeffrey S. Paul, director of the Morris County Office of Emergency Management.

Those attending should have already filed Form 90-49 with FEMA, Paul said. Attendance at a FEMA public assistance meeting is an administrative requirement in FEMA’s public assistance reimbursement process, he said.

Any questions and to schedule a meeting, call the county Office of Emergency Management at 973-829-8600.
