It is important that people realize the severity of this update and heed the warnings to opt for safety. Here is the latest from Governor Murphy regarding the issued State of Emergency starting 5PM Tuesday. NJ Declares state of emergency ahead of dangerous January storm via NJ.com
“The Governor said part of the concern is the ‘hours of intensity’ are expected to be ‘right smack in the middle of the night’-meaning it would be dark, with power outages and possible water rescues. ‘If you don’t have to be out between tomorrow (Tuesday) sort of early evening and Wednesday morning,’ Murphy said, it is safer to remain home. If you are out, please be careful,’ he said.”
May we have no flood victims tomorrow and may we all connect preventable deaths to the potential for stormwater utilities and green infrastructure upgrades throughout the state. Again, our collaborative 2022 stormwater management and environmental justice webinar series covered:
