Allows each county to create central registry and provide emergency supply kits to distribute to senior residents during emergencies.
Bill A 376 allows New Jersey counties to create voluntary registries for senior residents (65+ years old) to receive additional emergency assistance. Counties must establish a central registry collecting basic contact and medical information, conduct public awareness campaigns, and maintain data privacy protections. Each county may also prepare and distribute emergency supply kits to registered seniors, with kit contents determined locally. The bill does not require all counties to implement these measures but provides state funding for kit preparation upon approval.
