As crowds gathered for Light Up New Jersey to commemorate the one year anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, one man decided to "climb up New Jersey."
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 Superstorm Sandy - the worst natural disaster in State history - swept across New Jersey, causing billions of dollars in damage and throwing the lives of millions of Garden State residents into chaos.
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.
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.
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.
