Some Millburn and Short Hills residents need a lot of help right now and others are searching for ways to help. And people are at a loss as to where to go or what to do.

Here at Patch, readers have been great about trying to answer questions of out-to-town residents wondering how badly their neighborhoods suffered during the storm. Others have helped by posting pictures and video of the flooding in their neighborhoods. Patch is working as fast as we can to get information to you, but we’d like to help you help each other with a forum for getting the word out.

We thought we'd use this space to connect people who need help with those who want to do just that.

We'll also get you started with a few numbers that might come in useful to you:
