Overview
Protecting Against Natural Hazards
True resilience goes beyond reacting to disasters; it means preparing for storms before they strike. By strengthening our communities in advance, we can reduce risk, protect lives and property, and build a safer future.
That means keeping flood-prone areas free from development, reducing impervious surfaces that worsen stormwater runoff, designing infrastructure to withstand new climate pressures, restoring natural systems, and elevating climate awareness and leadership at every level.
We’re helping make New Jersey a safer, stronger place to live, work, and play. Our team advances local and state policies, develops technical guidance to support action, and collaborates directly with communities in their resilience efforts.
