In the wake of Superstorm Sandy, insurers in New Jersey will be required to add a summary sheet to homeowners policies issued to consumers, which an industry official cautiously endorsed as long as it does not prove burdensome to carriers.

The summary will be included with the consumer information brochure that policyholders already receive.
