The Federal Emergency Management Agency is issuing vouchers for hotel rooms to those stuck in emergency shelters because of superstorm Sandy and is rushing fuel to New York and New Jersey, agency Administrator Craig Fugate said.

FEMA activated a program for temporarily sheltering people who can’t return to storm-struck homes, Fugate said in a conference call with reporters today. Those in shelters in New York and New Jersey are eligible, he said.
