The Record
The extensive power outages superstorm Sandy left in its wake has forced emergency responders in North Jersey to evaluate their inventory of portable and standby generators and recommend the purchase of more this year.
Municipal officials will be crafting their budgets in coming weeks, and generators will surely be part of the discussion in several towns including Lyndhurst, Ridgefield Park, Ridgefield and Edgewater.
