SJR 79 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Designates month of September of each year as "Emergency Preparedness Month" in New Jersey.

SJR 79 designates September of 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 promoting preparedness. It emphasizes practical steps like creating family plans, identifying evacuation routes, and reviewing insurance - without creating new laws or directly affecting specific groups. This is a symbolic, procedural resolution focused on awareness, not policy change.
