Hudson County Keeps Its Eye On Earl
Tropical Storm Watch Issued

The Jersey City Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security (JCOEM) and the National Weather Service have issued a Tropical Storm Watch for Hudson County on Friday, September 3, 2010.  Hurricane Earl is expected to glance the area late Friday afternoon and residents should expect periods of heavy rain driven by winds gusting 35 to 40 miles per hour.

Residents should make preparations to secure all outdoor items, such as patio furniture, especially on high-rise balconies. Flooding could occur in low lying areas and motorists should exercise extreme caution and avoid driving through flooded streets. Downed power lines could result in sporadic power outages.

“While we always hope for the best in these situations, I strongly urge all residents to take this storm watch seriously,” said Mayor Jerramiah T. Healy. “Even though Friday is a furlough day, residents should rest assured that all Public Safety personnel are on duty and are ready to respond to any emergencies which may arise.  However, once the storm passes, we’re expecting good weather for the rest of the weekend. I encourage all residents to enjoy this last summer holiday with family and friends.”

The JCOEM Emergency Operations Center will be open and operational during this event and will continue to monitor this situation. Check back here
for further updates.
