Hurricane Irene - Social Work Response

To all our Members: We hope that you, your families, and your homes are safe following the recent storm.

While Hurricane Irene may be recent history, seven people in NJ lost their lives, the rising floodwaters destroyed homes and businesses, and communities across the state continue to cope with the storm's aftermath. Thousands of New Jerseyans have had to seek refuge in shelters or have spent days without power.

I know that social workers across the state have been busy reaching out to those affected by the hurricane. If you have helped in your community, you can share your story here on our blog.
