Inside this edition you will find articles regarding:

  • There is also a list of NJ County HHW contacts and program information.
  • Finally, the state’s 2011 schedule of planned HHW events is provided. At least no events are scheduled for the weekend hurricane Irene is scheduled to hit NJ.That was good planning on behalf of New Jersey’s HHW coordinators. Good job people.
