New Jersey to enter State of Emergency ahead of nor’easter

(WPHL) — New Jersey will enter a State of Emergency at 10 p.m. on Saturday ahead of an expected nor’easter, Acting Governor Tahesha Way announced.

Executive Order No. 399 declares a State of Emergency across all 21 counties in New Jersey.

The storm is expected to hit the Garden State on Sunday and continue into Monday, October 13.

Parts of the state are forecasted to experience the following:
  • Moderate to major coastal flooding
  • Instances of inland flash flooding
  • Sustained winds of up to 60 miles per hour
  • Localized precipitation of up to five inches
  • Very high surf, potentially causing significant beach erosion and dune breaching

Those who live along the Jersey Shore are asked to be mindful of evacuation routes.

“In preparation for this storm, I am issuing a State of Emergency for all 21 counties out of an abundance of caution, authorizing our state’s emergency services personnel to activate as necessary. I urge all New Jerseyans to exercise caution, monitor local weather forecasts and warnings, stay informed on evacuation protocols, and remain off the roads unless absolutely necessary,” said Acting Governor Way.

Once New Jersey enters a State of Emergency, Executive Order No. 399 will remain in effect until the emergency no longer exists.

New Jerseyans are encouraged to visit ready.nj.gov for important weather updates and safety information.
