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.

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.

Did you know that flooding causes more deaths in the United States than any other thunderstorm-related hazard? More than 50% of flood-related deaths are due to someone driving or walking into floodwaters.
When you come to a road covered with water, it’s difficult to tell the depth of the water or the condition of the road underneath, especially at night. Two feet of water can sweep an SUV off the road. Just six inches of fast-moving floodwater can knock you off your feet.
Play it safe - “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”.

It’s easy to forget the lives lost and devastating damage a major storm can leave behind, especially as time passes.
Sept. 1, 2026 marks five years since Ida impacted New Jersey. Through the Blue Acres Program, DEP continues to help families whose homes were destroyed or severely impacted by flooding. With buyouts, NJ residents in high-risk floodplains can relocate and build safer futures.
