Bill Summary
This bill allows each county in the State to establish a central registry that allows senior residents, 65 years of age or older, to voluntarily register to receive additional assistance during an emergency. A county that creates a central registry is to conduct a public awareness campaign, utilizing the Internet and any other available resources, to inform the general public of the importance of registration by senior residents so that appropriate preparations may be made to ensure that these individuals receive necessary assistance. Each county in the State may prepare and provide emergency supply kits for senior residents, who have registered to receive additional assistance. The items within these emergency supply kits would be determined by each county office of emergency management in accordance with section 20 of P.L.1989, c.222 (C.App.A:9-43.3).
