Family Preparedness Plan
Be Informed - Plan Together - Get Ready!
In order to support families experiencing uncertainty in the event of an emergency that could result in family separation, the New Jersey Department of Children and Families has created a listing of resources and helpful links to help families prepare. NOTE -- This listing may be updated from time to time as resources become unavailable or new resources and links become active. When linking to an external resource, NJ DCF will indicate where the information is coming from. | ![]() |
