Governor Murphy Declares State of Emergency in Preparation for Winter Storm
Governor Phil Murphy declared that New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency effective at 5:00 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 9, in anticipation of severe storms causing hazardous weather conditions including heavy rain, high winds, and flash flooding. Executive Order No. 350 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey, allowing resources to be deployed throughout the state during the duration of the storm.

As always, I urge all New Jerseyans – including residents in our coastal and riverine communities – to follow all safety protocols and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary.”
