Some law enforcement personnel might not recognize these cards, and should use the contact information on the cards if they have any questions. For utilities that need cards or have questions, the contact person at the New Jersey Office of Emergency Management for Essential Personnel Travel Cards is Cindy Fullerton. She can be reached at 609-963-6900 x 6210.
