With so many New Jersey residents and businesses impacted by remnants of Hurricane Ida, the New Jersey Society of Certified Public Accountants (NJCPA) is offering a Disaster Recovery Guide that provides recommendations on how to replace personal identification cards, document damage and losses for insurance claims, avoid disaster-related fraud and amend tax returns.       

NJCPA’s free Disaster Recovery Guide provides a list of state and federal agency contacts as well as contact information for most major insurance agencies servicing New Jersey. It explains the necessary steps to take regarding replacement documentation for autos, homes, mortgages or proof of marriage. It also outlines what IRS forms may provide further information.
 
“In light of the recent flood damage in the Garden State, the guide provides some practical advice for residents and businesses,” said Ralph Albert Thomas, CPA (DC), CGMA, CEO and executive director at the NJCPA. “Knowing where to turn to replace damaged or lost information in a disaster can mean a world of difference.”
 
The Disaster Recovery Guide is available online at njcpa.org/recovery or by contacting the NJCPA at 973-226-4494 or [email protected].
