Hoboken and Morristown Shortages

It appears that there are food, water and energy shortages in Hoboken and Morristown.  The problem right now is that commercial companies and thir vehicles are having difficulties operating in the flooding areas like Hoboken.  In those areas, emotions are getting stretched, where facilities and residences have no electricty or supplies.

The National Guard has several vehicles that can deliver food and water neighborhood by neighborhood.  Citizen groups are also forming to assist with food and water distribution.  

Burger King has an emergency food and water distribution group.  They have been contacted.  Wegmans is fully operational in New Jersey.  Contacts have been made with New Jersey Emergency Services and with the New Jersey Food Council.  

Efforts are now underway to establish channels for using crowd-sourcing, intelligent social networks, social network analysis, and media analysis on the New Jersey food and water assessments.  Linkages are being made between DHS and the National Center for Food Protection and Defense to identify and resolve gaps in assessment processes.

NOAA's Hurricane SANDY Response Imagery Viewer

      

NOAA’s National Geodetic Survey's remote sensing program conducts aerial photographic surveys the coast to document coastal damage and impacts to navigation. 

The data contained in these photos provide emergency and coastal managers with the information they need to develop recovery strategies, facilitate search-and-rescue efforts, identify hazards to navigation and HAZMAT spills, locate errant vessels, and provide documentation necessary for damage assessment through the comparison of before-and-after imagery.
