state personnel throughout the duration of Hurricane Sandy. Later that day, general public shelters opened at Stephen Decatur High School and Snow Hill High School. Pet-friendly shelters opened at Stephen Decatur Middle School, Snow Hill Animal Control and Pocomoke High School. Approximately 300 people and 46 pets stayed in the shelters, which closed when all the occupants returned home or found other places to stay by 1 p.m. Tuesday. Owens said several West Ocean City residents had been told that water would be in their homes, but they did not evacuate. When county employees went to some of those homes on Sunday, one foot of water was inside. Fred Webster, assistant director of Emergency Management, said a house on Riggin Ridge Road in West Ocean City had 16 to 18 inches of water inside. A Humvee was sent to rescue the women and two children inside. During the storm, the county received support from the Berlin Fire Company, the Ocean Pines Fire Company and the Ocean City Fire Department at Keyser Point Road. The county asked for and was granted a swift water rescue team that was assigned to the Ocean Pines Fire Department. That team was subsequently sent to Crisfield for the water rescue of occupants of Somers Cove Apartments. Although numerous trees and power lines were downed during the height of the storm, most county infrastructure had little or no significant damage. “Residents and businesses got a bird’s eye view of what could have happened by seeing damage along the coast,” Owens said. “I feel confident we did everything possible to alert people about the hurricane.” “It was a job well done,” said Bud Church, president of the Worcester County Commissioners. “Everyone worked ad a team and we were very lucky in the storm.”
State housing rehab applications being accepted in Berlin (Nov. 9, 2012) Representatives from the Maryland Department of Housing and Community Development Single Family Special Loan Programs will be at Berlin Town Hall on Friday, Nov. 16, to meet with interested homeowners who suffered damage during the August 2012 storm event. The program provides low-interest loans to assist with rehabilitations to correct exterior and interior deficiencies. Loans are secured by a property lien and income limits do apply. Anyone interested with meeting with a representative to discuss eligibility should contact Berlin Town Administrator Tony Carson at 410-641-4144 to arrange for an appointment.
