About Jersey Alerts
Local information that helps New Jersey residents act
Jersey Alerts is an independent New Jersey digital news and situational-awareness service. We cover developing incidents, traffic, weather, public safety, community events, and original local footage, with deep roots in Jersey City and coverage across the state.
What we publish
Original Jersey Alerts reporting, verified member submissions, official agency notices, public feeds, traffic cameras, weather information, and clearly attributed reporting from trusted New Jersey outlets.
What we are not
Jersey Alerts is not 911 or an emergency dispatch service. During immediate danger, contact 911 and follow instructions from public authorities.
Community-powered
Residents can report current local alerts, add constructive comments, and earn reputation when their contributions are useful and approved.
