It’s been 6 months since Hurricane Sandy landed here on Brigantine Beach. Storm surge and heavy winds certainly gave Brigantine a good beating. Many homes and businesses took an unfair share of hurt.<\/p>\n

While recovery in Brigantine has made amazing progress, there are still pockets of pain for those in lower lying areas.<\/p>\n

For Brigantine tourism and summer visitors, many agree that we’re virtually back to normal. This is due to the super-human efforts of Ernie Purdy and his team at the Brigantine Department of Public Works. For much of Brigantine, it looks like Superstorm Sandy passed us by.<\/p>\n

But for those residents in vulnerable locations…FEMA insurance issues, mold, house-raising, and other home related issues are still fresh, painful, and on the very top of their priority list. Please reach out and help if you can via BrigStrong.com<\/a><\/p>\n
