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 20, 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.
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 available at:
