HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS

The New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM) has asked us to provide you and your citizens some important information regarding this hurricane season.

Hurricane season runs from approximately June 1 through November 30, but as demonstrated by the 2005 season (including Hurricane Katrina) this time frame can vary. For New Jersey, the peak time for hurricanes and tropical storms runs from mid-August through the end of October.
strong>NJOEM recommends the following readiness steps:

Get a Kit” of emergency supplies – the items that will help you stay self-sufficient for up to three days (72 hours), if needed.
“Make a Plan” for what you and your family will do during an emergency – this includes knowing how to evacuate and how to Shelter-in-Place.
“Stay Informed” of possible threats – especially during Hurricane Season. Tune into your local media outlets for the latest breaking weather news. In the event of an emergency a battery powered radio is a great tool.

Additional information on the hurricane season is HERE

In the event of any kind of emergency, first responders will need to know who is in need of special care or assistance. To register for the Special Needs Registry visit www.registerready.nj.gov or call toll free at 2-1-1 to register by telephone.

If a Storm is approaching New Jersey:
