OCEAN TOWNSHIP — To assist consumers who have suffered property loss as a result of Hurricane Sandy, the state Department of Banking and Insurance will have staff members available at locations in Monmouth, Middlesex and Ocean counties Thursday, Nov. 15, between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to handle consumers’ questions, take complaints and assist them in filing insurance claims related to damages caused by the storm.
In Monmouth County, the mobile office will be located at the West Park Recreation Center, 615 West Park Ave. in Oakhurst.

Staff will provide consumers with literature on such topics as property insurance, flood insurance and general information about filing insurance claims, as well as answer general questions and assistance. There will also be a representative from the Governor’s Office at each site. In order to expedite matters, residents should bring their insurance policy and any claim information to the mobile office.
