FEMA Will Be Knocking On Doors

Please be advised that FEMA Individual Assistance (this is assistance for the residents) personnel are coming to Linden starting Monday, October 18, 2021. They will be going door to door canvassing the areas hardest hit by Ida. They will be assisting residents with claims, registrations, and providing information on government programs that can assist residents in the recovery from Ida. 

They will be properly identified with FEMA Federal Government photo identification and clothing. They will follow all CDC safety guidelines for COVID-19 including social distancing and use of protective equipment. Residents are reminded to ask to see their identification before providing their personal information so as to avoid scammers.

FEMA has also opened another Disaster Recovery Center in a trailer at the Skating Rink in Warinanco Park, Roselle. It is open during normal business hours and is available to all Linden Residents.
