The Township of Toms River has sent the following notice to the OB2 Board of Governors:
”
Based on phone calls to the Mayor’s office on Friday, June 14th, 2013, it came to our attention that some barrier island residents have decided not to allow access to the FEMA inspectors who are inspecting properties damaged by the storm as required by federal law and regulation.
Although that is certainly their prerogative, we need to let the residents know that is probably not in their best interest since the FEMA inspectors may be left with little choice but to assume that the properties they cannot gain access to suffered more damage than they actually did. That would clearly not be in the best interest of the property owners.
Would you please pass that along to your membership? We feel obligated to let them know that so that there is no misunderstanding in the future. Thank you.
“
