Monmouth County Freeholders, Senior Advisory Council, Sheriff's Office and Office of Emergency Management have put together a special emergency evacuation bag for seniors and caregivers to help them be ready to go.

We're still in the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season as the calendar turns to October this weekend, and Monmouth County officials unveiled a first of it's kind evacuation plan called "Know Your Zone" to educate locals on the zone they live in ahead of a severe storm.

If a natural disaster happens, Monmouth County wants to make sure barriers are already in place.
