NJOHSP proudly joined our partners in the New Jersey Standardized Active Violent Event Response (NJ SAVER) Working Group, under the Domestic Security Preparedness Task Force, to host the inaugural NJ SAVER Summit at Middlesex College.

The summit brought together 130 attendees from law enforcement, fire service, emergency medical services, emergency management, and public safety communications to advance a first-in-the-nation initiative strengthening how New Jersey prepares for and responds to active violent events.

Director Hauck opened the summit alongside @NJSP Acting Superintendent Jeanne Hengemuhle, @NJDeptofHealth Commissioner Raynard Washington, and @NJFireSafety Director and State Fire Marshal Wayne Wolk. Thank you to our partners for improving coordination across agencies and helping save lives.

Coastal flooding can happen quickly, especially during high tides and periods of heavy rain or strong winds.

Stay informed, avoid flooded roadways, and never drive through floodwater.

When a road is closed, there is a reason

Never drive around barricades or through flooded roads. Floodwater can be deeper and more dangerous than it appears. Follow closures and detours, monitor alerts and take a safer route.

In preparation for the Nor’easter, I’m declaring a State of Emergency for Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Salem counties – effective at 5:00 PM today.

Starting tonight, the storm is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and significant coastal flooding, with these eight counties facing the greatest risk.

I urge all New Jerseyans to take this storm seriously, stay alert, and follow local guidance. We’re prepared and will keep you updated as conditions develop.
