Situation Reports - Jersey Shore

Submitted by Jeff Williams

Everything is unavailable. No food stores open cause no power. No gas stations cause no power. Generators running emergency red cross shelters.  But people are moving back into homes without power just to start cleaning up and getting assessments for repair needs.  

Bulldozers coming to plow 4 ft of sand in streets.  More than 300 telephone pole mounted transformers are broken and need to be repaired just for power distribution to northern monmouth county.  Numerous telephone poles are down of leaning at 45 degree angles and have to be replaced.  Manpower for such repairs is unavailable. And how to allocate such resources and prioritize repair locations.
