PSA: The Town has experienced a recent number of dead geese reported at Hammonton Lake. Officials said the cases are likely associated with avian flu (bird flu) and want residents to be aware and cautious.

As state officials investigate a suspected H5N1 bird flu outbreak with the discovery of more than 1,000 dead or dying geese across the state, the Atlantic County Division of Public Health reminds residents to avoid unprotected contact with sick or infected birds and other animals.

According to the New Jersey Department of Health the general risk of H5N1 bird flu to the public is low, with no human cases reported in the state at this time. Transmission to humans is rare, however, dogs and cats are susceptible to the disease and should avoid all contact with deceased birds.

Residents are asked to report sick and dead birds to the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) by completing a reporting form available at: https://dep.nj.gov/njfw/highly-pathogenic-avian-influenza/

Protective measures should be taken if disposing carcasses including eye cover, masking and gloves. Carcasses should be double-bagged before placing in the trash.

Residents can also call Hammonton Town Hall at 609-567-4300 to arrange pick-up and disposal or email [email protected] to report deceased geese. Please call Police Dispatch at 609-567-4300 Ext. 222 after regular hours.
