FEMA Neighborhood Task Force

FEMA’s Neighborhood Task Force Initiative (NTFI) and the Point Lookout Chamber of Commerce are working together to identify the small business community’s needs, issues and obstacles to recovery, with regard to Hurricane Sandy. FEMA is working alongside state and local officials, and Chambers of Commerce to ensure that businesses have the information and resources needed for disaster assistance.

The Neighborhood Task Force Initiative Team (NTFI) is dedicated to working with the Point Lookout Business Community and is currently assessing the needs and responding to issues, questions and concerns of local businesses.

FEMA understands that the Point Lookout Chamber plays an important role as a liaison representing community based businesses in Point Lookout and looks forward to addressing disaster related issues and unmet needs of our members.
