Atlantic City Provided Emergency Shelter at Convention Center During Nor’easter

The City of Atlantic City took immediate action to protect residents impacted by the recent nor’easter by opening an emergency shelter at the Atlantic City Convention Center. The initiative was led by the Department of Health and Human Services in partnership with the Atlantic City Police Department, ensuring that displaced individuals received the care and support they needed.

Since Saturday, dedicated city staff and officers had been on-site around the clock to manage shelter operations, assist evacuees, and maintain safety within the facility. The emergency shelter provided a warm, safe, and secure environment for residents forced to leave their homes due to the storm’s effects.

The Atlantic City Convention Center served as a central hub for emergency response efforts, offering essential services such as meals, sleeping accommodations, and medical assistance for those affected.

City officials emphasized that the shelter would remain open until Tuesday, ensuring that anyone displaced by flooding, power outages, or other storm-related damages had a place to stay until conditions improved.

The collaboration between the Department of Health and Human Services and the Atlantic City Police Department reflected the city’s strong commitment to public welfare, particularly during severe weather emergencies.

This coordinated response demonstrated how Atlantic City’s government and community agencies worked hand in hand to prioritize safety and compassion for residents in need.

The city continued to monitor weather updates and advised residents to stay informed through official communication channels.
