One of the benefits of being an organization composed of diligent professionals from a variety of complementary backgrounds is that we have the ability to call on our members and ask them for assistance to answer complicated questions, review technical documents, evaluate pending agency rules/rule changes, or provide insight on legislation that could impact floodplain management in the communities we serve. The NJAFM Board is thankful to everyone who graciously contributed their valuable time to review NJDEP's pending Inland Flood Protection rules as well as recently proposed Flood Disclosure legislation. Below are links to our official comments on these matters which were prepared by our members, supported by the NJAFM Board, and submitted by our representatives on behalf of NJAFM.
