Assessments
Verified evidence shows Van Drew led post-storm assessment and coordination around federal disaster assistance, and stated he would pursue eligible federal resources. But the verified passages describe assessment, ongoing recovery, and promises to pursue assistance; they do not prove that South Jersey towns received federal recovery assistance for the September 2026 nor'easter. The April 2026 USACE beachfill contract predates the storm and does not fulfill this storm-specific recovery promise. With no deadline expired, the outcome remains unresolved, though effort is documented.
