State of Emergency Declared In Hunterdon County

County Government Remains Open

Some Activities Suspended

Hunterdon County Freeholder Board Director Shaun C. Van Doren today signed a declaration of a state of emergency in the County to protect the health and welfare of County residents during the national public health emergency and announced the suspension of some County activities.

The state of emergency declaration as a result of COVID-19 enables the County’s Office of Emergency Management (OEM) to request assistance from the State of New Jersey and the Federal Government, with the concurrence of the Hunterdon County Health Officer, including material resources from the Strategic National Stockpile, such as personal protective equipment to support the Hunterdon Medical Center, other health care facilities, other health care workers and first responders in the county, as well granting authority for the activation of local Emergency Operations Plans, and providing the County OEM Coordinator with authority to direct resources where needed.

Van Doren stated, “Officials within the County have been hard at work addressing the public health emergency posed by Coronavirus/COVID-19. The Hunterdon County Health Department and Office of Emergency Management have been working around the clock to plan and respond to the constantly evolving challenges posed by Coronavirus."
