Designates month of September of each year as "Emergency Preparedness Month" in New Jersey.
AJR 157 designates September each year as "Emergency Preparedness Month" in New Jersey to raise public awareness about disaster readiness. The resolution requests the Governor issue a proclamation encouraging residents and officials to observe the month with activities focused on preparedness. It highlights key steps for families, such as creating evacuation plans, establishing communication strategies, and reviewing property insurance, without imposing new legal requirements. The bill directly affects all New Jersey residents by promoting proactive planning for natural or manmade emergencies. This is a symbolic resolution, not a law with new regulations or funding.
