The New Jersey Division of Mental Health and Addiction Services (NJ DMHAS) operates a unit called “Disaster and Terrorism Branch”. During a federally declared disaster, this unit is responsible for activating the state’s mental health disaster response plan in coordination with other emergency departments. Every county also has such a plan and maintains a list of Disaster Response Crisis Counselors (DRCCs) who are trained volunteers and can assist during an emergency.
