It’s been two years since Super Storm Sandy

Wednesday, October 29th will mark the two year anniversary of Super Storm Sandy. In remembrance of the Storm, the David Robinson Farmers Insurance Agency will be continuing our volunteering efforts to help rebuild New Jersey communities affected by the storm. We will be participating in a 29 hour rebuild event October 28th through October 29th in cooperation with Sea Bright Rising.

Hurricane Sandy slammed into the Jersey shore destroying over 346,000 homes in New Jersey and causing approximately $37 billion in damage. Farmers Insurance played a pivotal role in the hours after the storm hit, setting up locations across the region to help assist customers and provide relief. Though much progress has been made since the Storm, there is still work to be done in the community of Sea Bright and other cities in New Jersey and Farmers remains committed to assisting the continuing efforts.

“Farmers has a history of being the first on scene to help in the immediate aftermath of disaster,” said Chad Carson, Director of Sea Bright Rising. “We’re excited to work with Farmers in an effort to rebuild the community of Sea Bright and others like it on the Jersey shore. Through Farmers experience in working with communities after natural disasters, coupled with its financial commitment and volunteers, they’re providing momentum to help us to attain our goals.”

Sea Bright Rising (seabrightrising.org) is a non-profit organization devoted to the relief of the needy and/or displaced and the general recovery of the town of Sea Bright, New Jersey as a result of the devastation created by Hurricane Sandy.
