Seems they have their act together in CT but no such luck in hard hit NJ where communication with the public was in shambles. Evacuation and Red Cross shelter worked like a well oiled machine but that's where it fell apart. News media concentrated on ratings as always and provided no useful information, then politicians made the rounds and appeared on TV spouting the usual BS, empty promises and such, just PR. There was NO plan to return us to our homes, I had to be a royal pest as liaison for my group wading through layered bureaucracy and miles of red tape. Days later Social Services managed to communicate across county lines and we went home in a van. Bottom line, you should know by now not to listen to mercury mouth politicians, they're so full of poop their breath stinks!
In case you're wondering why hams did such a good job in CT, the ARRL is in Newington. (;->)
