Coastal flooding can happen quickly, especially during high tides and periods of heavy rain or strong winds. Stay informed, avoid flooded roadways, and never drive through floodwater.

Know the difference: A Flood Watch means flooding is possible. Stay informed and be prepared to act. A Flood Warning means flooding is happening or expected soon. Follow local orders and move to higher ground if needed. Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

Floodwaters can be difficult to see after dark. Never walk, swim, or drive through floodwaters. Follow road closures, monitor weather and alerts, and check on others. Turn around, don’t drown. Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay safe.

In preparation for the Nor’easter, I’m declaring a State of Emergency for Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Salem counties – effective at 5:00 PM today. Starting tonight, the storm is expected to bring strong winds, heavy rain, and significant coastal flooding, with these eight counties facing the greatest risk. I urge all New Jerseyans to take this storm seriously, stay alert, and follow local guidance. We’re prepared and will keep you updated as conditions develop.

A strong nor’easter is expected this weekend. Gusty winds may produce isolated tree damage and power outages from tonight through Saturday night, with coastal flooding possible near peak high tides Saturday. Remain weather-aware, as forecasts can change quickly.

Did you know that flooding causes more deaths in the United States than any other thunderstorm-related hazard? More than 50% of flood-related deaths are due to someone driving or walking into floodwaters. When you come to a road covered with water, it’s difficult to tell the depth of the water or the condition of the road underneath, especially at night. Two feet of water can sweep an SUV off the road. Just six inches of fast-moving floodwater can knock you off your feet. Play it safe - “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”.
