NEW JERSEY ASKING FOR 90 PERCENT REIMBURSEMENT FROM FEMA

New Jersey is getting aggressive on seeking money following the damage of Hurricane Sandy. The state is now asking for 90 percent of the clean up costs to be paid for by the federal government instead of the typical 75 percent. The Federal Emergency Management Agency typically provides 75 percent following a disaster declaration. They are hoping that FEMA could provide trailers for displaced residents in the state to stay in as well.
