Residents and business owners will be required to prove their residency or property interest to get through police checkpoints with a photo ID, vehicle registration, property tax or utility bill, proof of employment, work orders, or a re-entry pass.
Employees will also be given access with the proper identification.
The beach communities are still not open to visitors. Pier 60 remains closed as well due to damage.
