I don't think there is gonna be a speedy anything. News this morning is that Seaside Heights probably won't have natural gas service restored to the community for 6-8 months. That's no gas service to anyone living in the community, not just some of the customers !!!!!
The utility itself has asked the Feds for something like 9,000 electric space heaters. It's gonna be a cold winter in Seaside Heights !!!!! And, the new "summer home" there may well end up being FEMA trailers, if Katrina was any indication of the help to be expected.
