As a framework for policy, regulatory, and operational changes, the Resilience Strategy presents actions that New Jersey’s Executive Branch can take to support the resilience of the state’s communities, economy, and infrastructure. The Resilience Strategy includes 125 recommended actions across six priority areas.Item Environmental Impact Statement for the Rebuild by Design Meadowlands Flood Protection Project(Trenton, N.J. : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Climate Resilience Design and Engineering, 2018-10) New Jersey. Department of Environmental Protection; AECOM; HDR, Inc.The Proposed Project is a comprehensive urban water management project designed to reduce the risk of floods from coastal storm surges and/or systemic inland flooding from high-intensity rainfall events. The Proposed Project would be located in the Boroughs of Little Ferry, Moonachie, Carlstadt, and Teterboro, and the Township of South Hackensack, all in Bergen County, New Jersey (the Project Area). The purpose of the Proposed Project is to reduce flood risk in the Project Area, thereby protecting critical infrastructure and facilities, residences, and businesses from the more frequent and intense flood events anticipated in the future. The Proposed Project is needed to address: (1) systemic inland flooding from high-intensity rainfall/runoff events; and/or (2) coastal flooding from storm surges. In addition to reducing flooding in the Project Area, the Proposed Project is needed to directly protect life, public health, and property in the Project Area, reduce flood insurance claims from future events, and potentially restore property values to the extent possible with the available funding.Item Living Shorelines Engineering Guidelines(Trenton, N.J. : New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection, Climate and Flood Resilience Program, 2016-02) Miller, Jon K.; Rella, Andrew; Williams, Amy; Sproule, Erin
