NJAFM 20TH ANNUAL CONFERENCE
NJAFM at 20 Years: Celebrate the Past, Focus on the Future
As we celebrate the 20th Annual Conference of the New Jersey Association for Floodplain Management (NJAFM), we take the opportunity to reflect on our past accomplishments and focus on the challenges that lie ahead. What started as a meeting of a small group of people in a DEP conference room in 2004 has grown into an organization of more than 400 members, with recognition of NJAFM as one of the most accomplished state chapters of the Association of State Floodplain Managers (ASFPM). In addition to making a difference here in New Jersey, NJAFM members have also contributed to the significant advancement of floodplain management at the national level. With continued strong leadership and a foundation of devoted members, NJAFM is poised to maintain this important role for years to come.
The 2025 Annual Conference will highlight the evolution of NJAFM and the positive impact we have had on education, training, professional development, and collaboration with public agencies throughout the state. The conference will promote core floodplain management principles: flood and storm hazard mitigation and resilience; enhancement of the natural/beneficial functions of coastal and riverine floodplains; and protection of people and property from the adverse impacts of floods and storms.
Join us at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ from Tuesday, October 21 - Thursday, October 23, 2025

Extreme weather and natural disasters continue to blindside society, despite extraordinary advances in technology. In his keynote address, Dr. “Hurricane Hal” Needham will share his “Recipe for Risk Analysis” to help a broad audience of catastrophe mitigation professionals better prepare for a wide range of outcomes. The Recipe includes three major ingredients- knowing our “Deep History”, understanding risk around regional neighborhoods, and considering environmental change.
