RESOLUTION URGING STATE ASSISTANCE TO COMMUNITIES
AFFECTED BY TROPICAL STORM FLOYD
WHEREAS, numerous communities throughout the State of New Jersey
experienced enormous damage as a result of Tropical Storm Floyd; and
WHEREAS, the Federal Emergency Management Administration ("FEMA") will
provide emergency relief for victims, but is limited in its scope and does not address
long-term issues for individuals and their devastated communities; and
WHEREAS, Assemblymen Robert Smith and Gerald Green and Senator John
Lynch have called on the Assembly Speaker, the President of the Senate, and the
Governor to call the Legislature into special session to deal with problems resulting
from Tropical Storm Floyd.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Mayor and Council of the
Borough of Carteret urges the legislative leaders and the Governor to embrace the
Smith, Green and Lynch initiative and to call the legislature into session to address
the outstanding problems resulting from Tropical Storm Floyd; develop a plan to
supplement FEMA's efforts and provide desperate financial assistance to affected
individuals and communities and create a plan to improve emergency preparedness
so that the tragic events of Tropical Storm Floyd are not repeated.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that a copy of this Resolution be sent to Governor
Christine Todd Whitman, Senate President Donald DiFrancesco, Assembly Speaker
Jack Collins, all Middlesex County Municipalities and Assemblymen Smith and
Green and Senator Lynch.
