At least 11 Incident Management Teams and 22 hand crews are assigned in the eastern United States helping with the recovery from Hurricane Sandy. The numbers provided by various sources vary somewhat, and may be due to some of the resources not being dispatched through the National Interagency Coordination Center, such as an IMTeam from Maine that does not show up on the list below which is from the the Eastern Area Coordination Center.

The crews are working in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Connecticut.
The Missoulian has an article about more crews headed that way today.

There is a USDA shooter named Dave Kosling working on the Sandy Response, he’s tied in with the teams. Here is a link to his photos on Flickr:
