utilities and where people are able to return, if they can return, it is a laborious process and you have to be careful because if you make a mistake somebody could get hurt. so i know it is frustrating for people, they want to get back in their homes. but we want to make sure everything is safe and everybody is in well taken care of. absolutely. how hard did the storm hit local businesses? . i assume just like homes, places that never see water did. what are you hearing from them? there are businesses on the avenue in the section of washingtonville that is a low lying area that just got devastated. we had 12 feet of water on the avenue, which is our main thoroughfare. i ve been doing this a long time and the intensity and the extent of this flood dwarves everything that we ve had. and we really need as a community the army corp of
that. listen, he s doing a lot in fairness to him, the dep, put out a big report from the army corp of engineers which is a preliminary report, but a big one as it relates to resiliency up against storms. that is more focused on the shore than it is on the the the shore largely came through last night okay. most of what we re dealing with is inland. but they ll be there, i promise. but it is the game-changer that will be continuing to do what we re doing and god willing to do more and then with donald s help and other colleagues, adding on top of that the federal money to really be the game-changer in terms of rebuilding the infrastructure we need. maybe one last one, sir. can you name the [ inaudible question ]. do you mind coming in, bob. the township where we re at right now, mullica hill,
already here, rescue units. we need to allow them to do their work without people doing sightseeing so i m asking residents to stay home and i m hopeful that our governor will send us the national guard. and they ve been very generous with equipment before and this is where we re a community that looks out for each other. and they re doing it right now. we re looking out for one another. and as governor said before, about his home town, we re going to get through this and get through this strong. but my community has been slated to get a army corp of engineers plan for at least over ten years now. and the plan was developed and it was going to be implemented but it got killed in the last administration in washington. so i m hoping that we could revive that plan under the biden administration.
