SUMMARY:Building Local Resilience to Climate Change: Tools & Sustainable Jersey Actions for Communities
DESCRIPTION:REGISTER NOW\nThis workshop will review tools and actionable steps that communities can take to be more prepared and resilient to the impacts of climate change. The tools were developed and vetted by public\, non-profit and academic partners throughout the state\, including Sustainable Jersey’s Task Forces. As such\, they represent some of the most current resiliency tools available to New Jersey municipalities. Topics to be covered include the NJ Municipal Resilience Cycle\, coastal and tidally influenced vulnerability assessments\, extreme temperature event plans\, emergency preparedness self-assessments (“Getting to Resilience”)\, emergency communications for vulnerable populations\, and more.  \nWho should attend? The workshop is intended for planners\, engineers\, emergency managers\, local officials\, green teams and citizens and organizations interested in learning about local resiliency tools and actionable steps. You don’t need to be a Sustainable Jersey community to benefit from the workshop\, although you’ll probably want to join the growing list of registered communities afterwards! \nFor agenda and speaker bios click here. Sustainable Jersey has applied for AICP credits for this workshop. \nThis workshop will be offered in southern New Jersey at the ACUA on May 20th.  See the Sustainable Jersey calendar for details and registration information. \nRegistration will begin at 9:00.  Program will run from 9:30-11:30. \nCo-Hosted by:  The Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders\, Office of Emergency Management & Office of Planning

SUMMARY:Fixing Flooding: One Community at a Time
DESCRIPTION:CONFERENCE BACKGROUND:  Flooding\, even from small storm events\, has been affecting the quality of life of New Jersey’s residents.  Based upon a preliminary land cover analysis of New Jersey\, the state has covered 12.1% of the land with impervious surfaces\, which is 1\,055 square miles of impervious cover or 675\,200 acres of impervious cover.  During a one-inch rainfall event\, 18.3 billion gallons of stormwater runs off these surfaces.  Many of these impervious surfaces are directly connected to our local waterways\, meaning that every drop of rain that lands on these surfaces drains directly to a stream\, river\, lake or bay without any treatment or having the opportunity to infiltrate into the soil.  Pollutants accumulate on these impervious surfaces and are washed into New Jersey’s waterways during storm events.  Additionally\, these impervious surfaces prevent rainfall from infiltrating into the ground to replenish the state’s aquifers.  Limited infiltration of rainwater results in reduced base flow to the local streams that rely on groundwater during the dry summer months.  \nGreen infrastructure can be used to reduce the impacts from these impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices such as porous asphalt\, bioretention systems\, and rain gardens can be very effective at capturing\, treating\, and infiltrating stormwater runoff from impervious surfaces.  Green infrastructure practices also can provide an opportunity to collect and use rainwater for non-potable uses.  Many green infrastructure practices provide ancillary benefits such as providing pollinator habitat\, sequestering carbon\, reducing the heat island effect\, and improving air quality. \nOver the last several years\, green infrastructure practices have been implemented across New Jersey.  These projects have clearly demonstrated the effectiveness and resiliency of green infrastructure technologies.  Water resources planning over the last 12 years has resulted in the creation of regional stormwater management plans\, watershed restoration and protection plans\, green infrastructure feasibility studies\, and impervious cover reduction action plans.  All of these plans are good tools to identify opportunities for retrofitting existing development with green infrastructure practices.  Green infrastructure technology has proven to be a cost effective means to reduce the impacts of impervious surfaces.  The final step is to further empower local communities to advocate for green infrastructure and to implement practices. \nPURPOSE:  The purpose of the conference is to educate stakeholders and engage them in addressing the impacts of stormwater runoff from impervious cover.  The workshop will acknowledge on-going efforts by the Sustainable Raritan River Collaborative and showcase their work.  It will also provide attendees an opportunity to network and develop new partnerships so they can better achieve the goal of a sustainable Raritan River Basin. \nREGISTRATION:  To register for this conference\, please click here.   \nRegistration will close at 11pm on Friday\, February 19th!

SUMMARY:Resilient Communities: Strategies for Survival and Growth in the Face of Natural Hazards
DESCRIPTION:Middlesex County to Host “Resilient Communities” Seminar on April 28th\nPlease join the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders on April 28\, 2015 for a workshop exploring the resources and assistance programs available to strengthen your municipality’s capacity for resilience. Learn of practical measures and strategies to adapt to and withstand the severe weather and natural hazards of our changing future. \nSponsored by the Middlesex County Board of Chosen Freeholders through the Office of Emergency Management and Office of Planning\, theses sessions will take place at the Middlesex County Fire Academy\, 1001 Fire Academy Drive\, Sayreville\, NJ 08872. \nThis free seminar is an open invitation to all 565 municipalities and 21 counties to become familiar with the wealth of assistance available to help you create your municipal blueprint for building more adaptive and resilient communities in the face of more extreme climate and weather patterns in New Jersey. \nInteract with the professionals that are “working in the field” toward a more resilient Garden State. Participating speaker topics Include: New Jersey Future Coastal Vulnerability Program\, The Regional Plan Association Resilience program\, The Jacques Cousteau Institute “Getting to Resilience” toolkit\, National Flood Insurance Program Community Rating System\, NJ Resiliency Network and the NJADAPT toolkit\, Princeton Hydro\, Resilience Consultants for Middlesex County\, Professionals perspectives on relevant FEMA and NJDEP programs\, and the New Jersey Association For Floodplain Management. Each panel session will include a 15 minute Q & A period to address your questions and concerns. \nTo register for this event\, please call the Middlesex County Office of Emergency Management at (732) 316-7100. \nRegistration and a continental breakfast will be served at 8:00 AM.
