Good evening team,
More and more of you are getting electricity back, and more and more are getting gas – albeit not quickly, and not for many of you. You’re doing a great job of continuing to secure America through JFK while many are still struggling with loss, and we are trying to put you in touch with resources to get you through these difficult times. FEMA representatives are with us…they will be working in T5 from 1200 to 1800 tomorrow and Wednesday to assist you getting the help you need. I ask that Supervisors and Managers work hard to get officers in need to see them. When you come to see FEMA have the following information available to speed up the process:
· Your Social Security number
· Current and pre-disaster address
· A telephone number where you can be contacted
· Insurance information
· Total household annual income
· A routing and account number from your bank (only necessary if you want to have disaster assistance funds transferred directly into your bank account) Lookup your bank routing number.
· A description of your losses that were caused by the disaster
After you've completed your application for assistance, you will receive a FEMA application number. Write down this number and keep it for future reference.
It’s a start. We have accounted for all but one officer who is on annual leave (and we visited his home to find it in tact). Getting 100% accountability took the better part of a week because of poor telephone connectivity, incorrect or missing contact information, and officers who did not call in.
Please, as we face more weather in the next 72 hours, please update your contact information in AIM immediately.
Gas is still hard to find…please continue to maximize your use of carpooling and mass transportation this week and conserve the gas you have. As there were practically no takers for the Long Island shuttles, the last one will run this evening and we will stop trying and conserve our fuel.
Our brothers and sisters across the country have done us a great favor in volunteering to help here at JFK, but as things become a bit more “normal”this week, we will release them to return to their families. Please join me in thanking them.

I couldn’t be prouder of the JFK team – many of you have reached out to your extended TSA family to assist. Thank you, and keep it up!
