The placards used when returning to LBI after an evacuation will be distributed soon.
All six Long Beach Island municipalities have signed the approval for car window placards. The placards will be color coded according to which section of the island the resident lives in.
Placards will not be issued to seasonal renters.

The placards will most likely be sent in the mail to the taxpayer on record.
