TRENTON – Senator Barbara Buono today introduced legislation that would aid gas stations, fire companies, health care providers, and first aid, rescue and emergency squads in better preparing for natural disasters and power outages by providing them with assistance in purchasing power generators.
“It isn’t just a matter of having enough gas to get to the store or to get to work when businesses reopen,” said Senator Buono, D-Middlesex. “It’s a matter of public safety and public health for people who need gas to keep their own generators going, including facilities that care for New Jerseyans who require special attention, such as individuals on ventilators or other life support equipment.”
