FEMA opens recovery center in Gerritsen Beach
Gerritsen Beach is getting some much-needed post-Sandy attention from the federal government.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has opened a Mobile Disaster Recovery Center in the community to help residents whose homes were heavily damaged pick up the pieces of their lives.
The center, which will help homeowners with damaged property to register for assistance, will also help refer residents to resources for disaster needs, according to U.S. Rep. Bob Turner (R-Brooklyn-Queens), who recently paid a visit to the site.
