Hurricane Sandy Disaster Assistance
Posted January 25th, 2013
During Hurricane Sandy, St. Augustine Prep served as an evacuation center for medically needy persons from October 28 to November 2. The school worked closely with the Atlantic County Office of Emergency Preparedness to provide services for those who were evacuated from their homes.
The school has now been asked to make known available disaster assistance from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). If you sustained losses or damage from Hurricane Sandy, you may be eligible for disaster aid. The deadline for registering for this assistance is January 31, 2013. Information is available:
