Overview
This bill creates a permanent unit within the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management to specifically address the needs of residents who have access and functional needs during disasters and emergencies. The unit will identify these needs, assess available resources, and coordinate with local and county offices to ensure these residents can prepare for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate the impacts of emergencies. It defines ‘access and functional needs’ broadly to include people with disabilities, older adults, limited English proficiency, transportation challenges, and limited financial resources. The bill also removes outdated findings and declarations.
