The Borough of Ship Bottom has adopted a municipal emergency operations plan in the
event of an emergency or natural disaster which may require the evacuation of the
inhabitants of the Borough of Ship Bottom. The borough has also adopted, by resolution,
the Long Beach Island Re-Entry Plan (established March 2010) which provides for the
coordinated re-entry of Long Beach Island when necessary during emergencies. The primary
objectives of post-storm re-entry management is to identify immediate needs of disaster
areas and once identified, provide a systematic return to Long Beach Island of human
and material resources that will prevent loss of life and stabilize infrastructure
so as to start an emergency assessment/recovery process. The secondary objective of
post-storm re-entry management is to provide a network of management systems with
the ability to control and coordinate emergency operations within municipal jurisdictions
and with other assisting agencies. Every effort will be made to allow evacuees to
return to their homes and businesses. Re-entry to all areas evacuated will be authorized
based on public safety and security concerns, the extent of dangers, and operational
requirements for search and rescue. The decision to establish general re-entry will
be evaluated through continuous coordination among the various municipalities, county
and state agencies, and municipal law enforcement. Re-entry will be permitted in accordance
with the Long Beach Island Re-entry Plan, a copy of which shall be maintained in the
office of the municipal clerk. Re-entry placards issued by Long Beach Island Municipalities
and Stafford Township will be used to restrict and identify all vehicles and personnel
entering onto Long Beach Island and Cedar Bonnet Island.
