VERIZON FIOS INFORMATION

VERIZON DELAYS
FIOS FOR EAST HANOVER
According to
Chris Brennan, Director of External Affairs at Verizon, Verizon has
completed cabling of the south side of East Hanover Township (south of
Route 22). In order for the Township and its residents to obtain FIOS
TV, a cable franchise agreement must first be put in place.
It is the
responsibility of Verizon to approach the Township for this cable
franchise. At this time, Verizon has made a business decision to shift
their current focus to honoring their deployment commitments and
building on the popularity of their FIOS product in areas where they
currently have cable franchises. In communities like East Hanover, where
they started building the all-fiber network, they have taken a pause in
franchise negotiations and will re-evaluate where they go next. Verizon
will be back in touch with Township officials as soon as they have any
new information.
Updates will
be posted as they become available.

FEMA -
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
There
have been some reports of people going door to door impersonating FEMA
Inspectors, asking residents for personal information. Please
review the following information to help ensure the FEMA Representative
knocking at your door is an official FEMA Inspector.
If you filed an application
for disaster assistance with the Federal Emergency Management Agency for
property damaged by the recent storms, expect a call from a FEMA
inspector. FEMA and the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency are
sending inspectors into federally declared disaster areas as soon as
possible. An inspector should visit your home within a few days after
you apply.
When the inspectors arrive
they will be wearing an official FEMA photo identification badge. You
will be asked to verify information you gave when you registered. This
is the only information you will be asked to confirm. Here are some
important things to remember:
* An inspector will call the
number on your application to make an appointment to visit the damaged
property; be sure to update it if there is a change.
* A person who is 18 or older
and lived in the household before the disaster must be present for the
appointment.
* A determination will be
delayed if you miss your appointment and have to reschedule.
* Inspectors will go over the
structure and contents; this will take less than an hour to complete.
* The inspector will file a
report of the damage. He or she will not determine your eligibility for
a grant.
* You will receive a follow-up
letter within 10 days of the inspector's visit with a determination.
* Applicants who are eligible
for assistance will receive a check or an electronic funds transfer.
* Applicants may receive a
low-interest disaster loan application in the mail from the U.S. Small
Business Administration. The loan does not have to be accepted. However,
completing an SBA application may open the door to other types of
assistance.
If you have any questions
about the inspection or regarding the letter you receive, call FEMA
at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362). Disaster assistance applicants who have a
speech disability or hearing loss and who use TTY should call
1-800-462-7585. You may also talk one on one with a recovery specialist
at a Disaster Recovery Center. Go to
www.fema.gov/drclocator to find a center near you. The follow-up
letter explains how the money can be used.
If you had damage and have
not applied for disaster assistance call FEMA at 1-800-621-FEMA (3362);
for TTY call 1-800-462-7585 directly. Or apply online at
DisasterAssistance.gov <http://www.DisasterAssistance.gov>
; the screens will prompt you through the registration process. You can
also apply by web-enabled mobile device at m.fema.gov. For those who
use 711 or Video Relay Service (VRS), call 1-800-621-3362. Operators
will assist you seven days a week between the hours of 7 a.m. and 10
p.m.
