This is what our director of operations emailed this morning:
A State of Emergency does not mean you may not drive. It is only to release financial resources to ensure that State can respond quickly to any incident or weather event. (SEE BELOW)
You will be expected to complete your scheduled assignment unless you hear directly from upper management
Thank you and stay safe!
New Jersey State law (N.J.S.A. App.A:9-37) allows the Governor to declare a State of Emergency during significant weather events and natural disasters. The emergency declaration is a tool used by the government officials who are managing the emergency. It allows State agencies to quickly respond to needs of citizens, reassign personnel, and deploy vehicles, trucks, and equipment to respond to the incident. A State of Emergency allows the government to act more quickly than it can during non-emergency times.
