Investing in Mitigation - Leveraging Resources to Mitigate Flood Hazards
The New Jersey Association for Floodplain Management (NJAFM) 18th annual conference will focus on mitigation as the cornerstone of effective floodplain management. Mitigation takes many forms - structural elevations, floodproofing, natural resource restoration, higher regulatory standards and codes, education and training, comprehensive planning and land use management, and other actions. With an increase in federal funding for hazard mitigation and infrastructure, we have a unique opportunity to work collaboratively to leverage resources and maximize investments in a broad range of actions to address chronic flood hazards now, and into the future.
The NJAFM annual conference is the premier floodplain management conference in the Northeast. With more than 50 speakers and several hundred participants, this is the conference that regional floodplain managers from the public and private sector plan to attend. In addition, many consulting firms and product vendors associated with floodplain management attend as well.
