The following is a bunch of pictures of the variety of work that has been being done and a view of the magnitude of damage sustained from Superstorm Sandy. Please note that all of these pictures are recent and not taken from the internet, i.e. there is still work to be done.
This dropbox presentation was shared by the students and staff of Ashford University, showing their service trip in NJ.

It is often misconceived that a community hit by a natural disaster is fine once the media stops discussing it. Rebuild takes 3-7 years. There are many obstacles and speed bumps that stand in the way of this being a smooth process however the use of volunteers helping non-profits, parks, homeowners, and communities back on their feet is instrumental. Beyond the work they can accomplish, the last picture says it all, they bring hope.
We are still rebuilding New Jersey. Please share.
