Conditions are likely for tropical storm force winds, which can range from 39 to 58 miles per hour and are expected to occur within the next 36 hours. Rain, about one to two inches, is expected to fall along the coast and about one-half to one inch is expected inland.
The storm is expected to pass Ocean County about 8 p.m. Friday if it stays on its current track. Winds are expected to begin to increase Thursday evening and continue throughout the day on Friday.
At the shoreline waves are expected to be five to 10 feet. Minor tidal flooding may occur.
The storm is expected to bring very rough seas, strong rip currents and some beach erosion. Seas will continue to be rough throughout the day on Saturday, even though the storm will have moved through the area. Coastal municipalities in Ocean County need to take precautions to warn beachgoers of the potential risks. The weekend weather is expected to be clear and sunny.
Some back bay flooding may also occur during high tides.
Evacuations are not being recommended as of this time. However, residents should be prepared for the storm. Because of the wind conditions outside items should be secured.
Residents are urged not to wait for the approach
of an impending storm to get prepared.
The following are suggested actions to be taken prior to arrival
of a storm:
- Check battery-powered equipment such as radios and flashlights.
Buy extra batteries.
- Secure outdoor objects that might become caught in the wind.
- Keep your car fueled should evacuation be necessary.
- Be aware of where evacuation routes are located.
- Stock up on non-perishable food items and water.
- Keep tuned to a local radio or television station for the latest
National Weather Service advisories as well as instructions from
local officials.
Have an Emergency Plan, and an evacuation route in place for you and your family to follow in the event of emergency situation.

When
calling 911, Remember to stay calm, the 9.1.1. operator is there to
help. Follow the instructions the 911 operator gives you.
Wireless phones don't always automatically provide 9-1-1 call-takers with all the information they need. That's why, it's important to remember when calling 9-1-1 using a wireless phone, to give your location, nature of emergency, who is involved, and a phone number.
We also suggest that you be aware of your surroundings. Look for landmarks. And, when driving, pull over to a safe place, and then provide as much information to the 9-1-1 dispatcher as possible.
Ride
your bicycle with the flow of Traffic,

Not against it! Obey all of the same traffic
laws as a motor vehicle!
New Jersey law stipulates: "anyone under 17 years of age that rides a bicycle or is a passenger on a bicycle...must wear a safety helmet." and "a bicyclist must obey all state and local automobile driving laws. A parent may be held responsible for the child's violation of any traffic law." and " Initial violators of the helmet law will receive warnings. For minors, the parent or legal guardian may be fined a maximum of $25 for the 1st offense and a maximum of $100 for subsequent offense(s), if lack of parental supervision contributed to the offense."
When ridden on any roadway a bicycle rider has all of the rights and responsibilities of any vehicle. Unless bicycles are specifically excepted, all traffic laws and rules apply to bicycles. Bicyclists who violate traffic laws are subject to a citation.
STOP FOR PEDESTRIANS IN THE CROSSWALKS!

or where otherwise prohibited by municipal, county, or State regulation,
and except where a pedestrian tunnel or overhead pedestrian crossing
has been provided, but no pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb

Move Over Law

39:4-92.2 Procedure for motorist approaching stationary authorized emergency vehicle, tow truck, highway maintenance or emergency service vehicle.
This is the new law that requires drivers to veer away (to an outer lane) from police cars and other emergency vehicles stopped on the side of a road. If moving to an outer lane is not possible, motorists are required to slow down below the speed limit and be prepared to stop.

The purpose of this program is to empower the local,
private, and corporate waterfront
community
with the knowledge and ability to assist law enforcement. Civilians
can assist by identifying observed criminal or terrorist behaviors,
and alerting law enforcement. This information is then entered into
the Statewide Intelligence Management System (SIMS). The SIMS database
is used to collect and share information on suspected involvement
in all types of criminal activity. SIMS allows agencies to store
intelligence for their own use or for the use of the broader law
enforcement community.
