- Federal funds will not be enough to rebuild all that was damaged. Need to shift the Titanic of how we plan for growth, for infrastructure, for preservation. How is NJ doing that? How is the nonprofit sector? Other states?
- $5m planning grant program for affected towns and counties. No list of who qualifies but estimated at 76 towns and 9 counties. Can apply for up to $300,000 for variety of grants – “Strategic Recovery Planning report, update master plan and zoning, design standards, municipal hazard mitigation plan. $1.8 just awarded to 31 towns. Many more aplicationscoming.Not clear if state will allow public comment on HMP!
- Assess risks – man-made (terrorism); natural – wildlfires, earthquakes, etc. In NJ, biggest is floodingMitigation Plan – strategies for mitigating future risks – Making people and property better able to withstand future storms and other disastersImplementation – Where $$ comes in – the projects. Every project must be grounded in an approved plan.
- Here are some examples of mitigation strategies that deal with flooding. Other mitigation projects might include …So we developed a model ordinance that divides the floodplain into different zones based upon the communities adaptation goals for that area– and the intensity of development In the area here circled in red, where the community has critical infrastructure and dense urban development – they may want to designate this area as “protection zones” –where they want to allow shoreline armoring. for areas with less dense development –communities may want accommodate new development -- butuse regulations to ensure that development is more resilient to impacts – such as by requiring structures to elevated – the house on stilts approach.Finally, where communitieshave less intensely developed rural areaswith sensitive natural resources they may want to designate a Conservation Zone (or retreat zone).,circled here in green- In these areas they want to limit new developmentRequire structures to be relocated inland if they are damaged in a floodAnd require natural flood buffers. Each zone employs the land-use tools listed on the previous slide that can be used to effectuate the adaptation goal for that area. For example, in the Retreat Zone the model proposes that the area be downzoned for low-intensity uses, such as open space. And, that rebuilding of storm-damaged structures be prohibited or limited.
- Not known if there will be an opportunity for public comment on the draft. County level – all but Ocean County have adopted plans. Ocean’s in progress. Grants to 14 municipalities for updates. (5-year cycle). In NJ municipalities are generally part of the county-wide plan. Muncipalofficialsl must participate and sign off (who – governing body.?) 27 have not. Handful with their own plans
- New Jersey has a great opportunity to use hazard mitigation planning to transition to a safer futureImportant .HMPlannign is mostly about fixing bad land use decisions
- Katrina lesson – local govts lack capacity to rebuild and recover. Part-time mayor, small staff, etc. National Disaster Recovery Framework recommends Local Disaster Recovery Managers. NJF able to obtain private funding to place them in seven towns. Heres are examles of how tey are enhancing towns’ capacity to rebuild..
- Stockton State College – marketing for ecotourism, economic developmentRutgers – green infrastructure and living shorelinesFEMA – technical assistance
- $25 million planning program for 102 sandy-affected communities. Must complete 8-month planning process, based on planning framework that includes comprehensive risk assessment, including forward-looking maps of vulnerable areas. Once plans completed, towns eligible for $750 million in implementation funds from CDBGDR ($500m) and HMGP ($250m).
- MD Sea level rise protections. Maryland Governor Martin O’Malley recently signed an executive order to reduce flooding risks to state building and public infrastructure in coastal areas, and his administration’s initiatives include new sea level rise projections to help decision-makers plan and a Coast Smart Communities Program, providing on the ground sea level rise planning expertise, training and technical mapping tools.
