Governor Chris Christie Declares State of Emergency As Winter Storm Hits New Jersey
Wednesday, November 26, 2014
Trenton, NJ – With Winter Storm Cato expected to impede transportation and travel throughout New Jersey, Governor Chris Christie today declared a State of Emergency, authorizing the State Director of Emergency Management to activate and coordinate the preparation, response and recovery efforts for the storm with all county and municipal emergency operations and governmental agencies. Commuters are asked to use extreme caution while traveling across the state.
“Today’s storm is expected to produce travel hazards and potentially cause power outages throughout the state,” said Governor Christie. “I’ve authorized state officials to take all necessary action to prepare, and my Administration will continue monitoring conditions throughout the remainder of the storm. With higher than normal traffic volume due to the Thanksgiving holiday, I strongly encourage all New Jerseyans to drive carefully so that they and their families arrive safely at their destinations. “
Already affecting parts of the state, Winter Storm Cato is expected to continue into the evening, bringing rain, snow, mixed precipitation, and strong winds.
You must be kidding!
What is going to happen when it really snows and by the way where the hell is our robo call from our Mayor?
Your lead here said the Gov. declared a State of emergency and I found it at the North Media Record.
Perhaps, sharing these sources more would help.
The snow has kept the Blog from posting recent comments here too — Stay safe on the roads. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Day. Dom.
