Dawn Zimmer, Mayor of Hoboken in New Jersey interviewed on CNN.
She has been asking for the National Guard to be sent from Washington, but she is getting red tape from Washington
She has a case of a grandmother in a building, who is taking care of a set of 7 month old twins. And the grandmother does not think she will have enough food for her grandchildren.
The mayor cannot get to her, to help her.
The Mayor is asking for Washington to help out! She is being told that help is coming, but these babies need to eat!
SOON!!!
If anyone in Washington DC, in the government reads this, PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!! PLEASE HELP
THIS MAYOR IN HOBOKEN NEW JERSEY!!! STOP THE RED TAPE!!! PLEASE GET HER THE HELP SHE NEEDS!!!!
She does not have the technology to help this poor Grandmother with her set of twins, they are
just 7 months old! This poor Grandmother is stranded in her building.
Please Washington, step up to the plate!!! Stop the politics & help these people out!!
Thank you!
Yes, this does look like one of these lame emails. For one thing, the National Guard is organized by state. It would be the NJNG that should be coming, possibly with assistance from some other state(s). The NG is not HQd in DC.
I have been glued to the TV as I have stayed safely at home thru all of this. I was fortunate enough to not have to deal with a power failure, but NY and NJ have seen devestating destruction. All the Mayors and Governors on the east coast are praising the coordinated efforts of their state emergency responsders and those of FEMA under the POTUS. So, as for the OP...bull crap!
I cannot believe how vast the damage is and what people tend to forget is that NY and NJ are the most densely populated areas of the USA. At least Governor Cuomo is forward thinking and realizes that the new infrastructure will have to be built with these changing weather patterns in mind.
Good news! There is help for her! President Obama has given her permission to contact him if she is not able to get pass red tape.She will need to pick up her phone and call the white house right away. Obama has stated that he will step up when all else fails. There is no red tape at the white house in which obama lives. There must be some other white house that you are referring to! It sounds like you might need a factchecker because your claims are false.
How could she not have enough food. It's not like this storm was a surprise. How could she not have jars of baby food. Makes no sense to me....something is off here.

This has to be the most ridiculous thread of the day. My vote. Are there any seconds?
I also have several friends who live in Hoboken. They were hit hard but are all walking around today. The people who are really trapped are on the barrier islands off the shore. Totally inaccessible.
What "technology" would be needed to rescue this woman who has been trapped all of 24 hours? A ladder?
The National Guard loaned the city several large trucks that can drive through water as deep as six feet in order to reach those who had disregarded the city's orders in area of mandatory evacuation, Healy said. He did not know how many were extracted.
Very irresponsible if she did not heed the mandatory evacuation.
