Hurricane Sandy is tracking toward Monmouth County, likely bringing with it power outages, flooding and road closures.
Residents are incouraged to sign up for the reverse 911 system in either Aberdeen or Matawan to receive vital information specific to their town regarding the hurricane.
A reverse 911 system allows emergency personnel and government officials to alert residents about possible dangers through telephone calls and email notifications.
In addition to road closures, severe weather and power outages the alert system can be used at any point in time for other reasons officials see fit, such as child abductions or other crimes.
Here is a link to Aberdeen Township's CodeRED alert system.
