Managing the Emotional Consequences of Storms and Floods

Long Beach Township has a Reverse Emergency Notification System that allows the Emergency Management office to call you with any emergency or potential health hazard that may occur in the area where you live. By adding your cell phone or landline to the database, an attempt will be made to contact both numbers notifying you of the situation.

If you would like to add your cell phone or Non-Verizon phone number to the Long Beach Township Reverse Emergency Notification database, please utilize this form.

Who should register?

You (or someone on your behalf) should register if you may find it difficult to get to safety with Family or Friends or to a public shelter during an emergency evacuation, because of a physical or cognitive limitation, language barrier, or lack of transportation.

How to register:

Click on the following link: www.registerready.nj.gov and complete the online registry.

Pandemic Flu

Every year in the United State, 5% to 20% of the population gets seasonal flu. Since it is caused by influenza viruses that are similar to those already circulating, vaccines are an effective method of prevention. Health experts are worried that a new influenza virus that people have not been exposed to before could cause a pandemic, or worldwide, outbreak. This form of flu is likely to be more severe, affect more people, and cause more deaths than seasonal influenza because people will not have immunity to the new virus and flu shots will not be able to offer protection.

Preparing ahead of time will help bring the peace of mind and confidence to deal with a pandemic, and possibly lessen its effects. These checklists will help you gather the information and resources you may need in case of a flu pandemic.
