Southern Ocean Chamber keeping community connected on recovery updates

SHIP BOTTOM, N.J. - April 30, 2013 - PRLog -- Since Super storm Sandy hit this past fall, Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce has been providing vital information to the business community, residents and visitors.
From announcements and discussion at monthly meetings, the ongoing and continually updated Surviving Sandy Newsletter which launched November 2011, blogs  featuring the latest in formation on the www.visitLBIregion.com website, social media links and handouts available for pickup at the Southern Ocean County Chamber of Commerce Visitor Center.

"The task of staying current as information breaks and becomes available, has been a number one priority," states Lori Pepenella, Destination Marketing and Director of Communications for the Southern Ocean County Chamber. "It was clear the day after the storm hit that ongoing communication to direct sources was instrumental". Whether it was where to vote for displaced residents in the November elections, FEMA and SBA filing information or consumer fraud guidelines, the topics have changed to meet each phase of the recovery cycle.

Currently, the approved Sandy Recovery plan gets top billing, as does Blue Acres Program, NJ Business Portal links and other business recovery information.
