Don't let Staten Island become the forgotten borough during the Hurricane Sandy recovery effort. You can help (even if you are not a Staten Islander ) by sharing this newsclip on Facebook, Twitter and Youtube. Then do as I did and call the White House at  (202) 456-1111. This is their comments line and is staffed by volunteers who will tabulate your comments and call. Make sure you mention that you are concerned about the rate of recovery and assistance for Staten Island NY. Then call FEMA at 1 (800) 621-3362 . The wait is a bit longer but ask the operator (option #3) to tabulate and send forward your concerns about the recover effort.

As a retired Army officer I can vouch for the fact that during combat zone like conditions, it's the squeaky wheel that gets the oil. Staten Islander's, if you are awaiting assistance or are now fine, let's all squeak a little louder to make sure the recover happens as fast as possible. The cold temperatures are only going to make things worse and we need to resolve our Islander matters quickly.

If you prefer to leave your comments with the Whitehouse on the net the web page is:
