New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared on Monday evening that the region will enter a state of emergency, effective 8 p.m., in preparation for the impacts of a nor’easter.
Murphy urged for residents of all 21 counties in the Garden State to stay off the roads, remain vigilant, follow safety protocols, ensure devices are fully charged, report outages, and to look out for downed power lines. The state of emergency declaration will allow local officials to mobilize resources and potentially request disaster aid.
