Sandy

A year ago, neighbors came together to help neighbors in need after Sandy and last night's Light Up New Jersey event showed that the strength of the residents of New Jersey and their commitment to help their neighbors hasn't weakened.

The Mental Health Association of Monmouth County (MHA) continues to help people FOR FREE with their emotional recovery since Sandy struck a year ago. They have also set up Sandy Wellness Counseling Centers in Keansbury, Manasquan and Red Bank.

One year ago today, the unbelievable became our reality and one year later the world is still upside down for so many of our neighbors.

As the anniversary of the day that changed everything for so many people along the Jersey Shore arrives, you may be trying to figure out what to do to respectfully commemorate the date.

The Starfish Project was created as a way to help keep your kids from being retraumatized leading up the anniversary of the superstorm. Look for "anniversary reactions" among your family, and use this great step-by-step guide and wide range of services still available to help you:

We all went through Sandy, but the range of emotions we feel now is as varied and random as the extent of the damage Sandy brought to our lives.

Superstorm Sandy, to many New Jerseyans, meant some minor damage and a few cold nights in the dark. For thousands of other residents, however, the struggle has lasted much longer.

The Seaside Boardwalk Fire's effect on the 2014 tourism season is worrying local merchants, who dread the possibility of two slow summers.

In part four of our series, 'Are We Ready,' we examine the findings of a new report on just how prepared we are for another superstorm.

Residents and businesses in Monmouth and Ocean counties may be able to expect better service and quicker restoration times during major power outage events, thanks to a brand new partnership.

In part three of our series, Are We Ready? We take a look into efforts being made by the state OEM to be ready for a future storm of Sandy's magnitude.

Victims of Superstorm Sandy are still finding themselves in a web of red tape and bureaucratic nightmares, many unable to return home almost a year later.
