Hermine prompts state of emergency in three New Jersey counties
Sept 3 (Reuters) - New Jersey Governor Chris Christie declared a state of emergency for Ocean, Atlantic and Cape May counties on Saturday in preparation for Storm Hermine.
The declaration activates part of the state's emergency operations plan, allows wider powers to state police and enables the National Guard to assist with rescue and storm clean-up. (Reporting by Ian Simpson; Editing by James Dalgleish)
