The Township of Montclair 2025 Community Health Assessment Survey is LIVE. This is an anonymous survey that assists the Montclair Department of Health & Human Services in gathering data to more effectively address the health needs and concerns within our community. The survey will remain open until Tuesday, March 31st 2026.

The Public Health Accreditation Board defines a community health assessment (or CHA) as a comprehensive picture of a community's current health status, factors contributing to higher health risks or poorer health outcomes and community resources available to improve health. To summarize, it helps us determine the needs of the community through stakeholder and resident feedback.

To access the survey in either English or Spanish, visit the link in the comments.

🌧️ NJ friends, the weather is about to get extra Jersey—loud, messy and a little dramatic.
Stay one step ahead of the storm with a few smart moves:
🕯️ Charge everything now—phones, power banks, that tablet you swear you don’t use.
🚗 Keep roads clear unless you have to travel. If you must head out, take it slow and give yourself extra time.
🥤 Stock up on the basics—water, snacks, flashlights and whatever keeps you sane when the Wi‑Fi flickers.
🧤 Dress for the weather you have, not the weather you want. Layers are your friend.
🏠 Check on neighbors, especially anyone elderly or living alone.
And most importantly: ❤️ If you or someone around you is having a medical emergency, call 911 immediately. They’ll guide you and get you to the nearest hospital safely.

Stay warm, stay smart and let’s ride out this Jersey weather like the pros we are.
