The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) was created in 1968 in to identify and reduce overall flood risk\, and provide affordable flood insurance. Almost all municipalities in the DVRPC region participate in the NFIP. However\, due to catastrophic storms in recent years\, such as hurricanes Katrina\, Sandy and Harvey\, insurance claims have vastly outstripped the premiums collected by the NFIP. As a result\, the program has borrowed almost $30 billion from the US Treasury that it cannot afford to repay. Furthermore\, climate change is projected to increase flood risk\, due to both sea level rise and more intense precipitation events. \nAgainst this backdrop\, this Climate Adaptation Forum will explore the structure of the NFIP\, which has been overdue for re-authorization since 2017\, and discuss policies under active consideration to restructure the program to appropriately assign responsibility for risk\, support vulnerable communities\, and enhance long-term resiliency. The tradeoffs involved are complex. However\, they must be addressed\, as the program continues to operate in a deficit and the value of assets exposed to risk from flooding is only expected to grow. \nThis will be an interactive workshop\, with plenty of time for discussion and questions. \nThe panelists include: \nCarolyn Kousky\, Ph.D.\, Director for Policy Research and Engagement at the Wharton Risk Management and Decision Processes Center at the University of Pennsylvania. \nRichard J. Sobota\, CPCU\, Senior Insurance Specialist from FEMA Region III \nJohn A. Miller\, P.E.\, CFM\, CSM\, Water Resources Engineer\, Certified Floodplain & Stormwater Manager \nPlease register at: https://dvrpc.ticketleap.com/NFIP/ .

This workshop will concentrate on finding new uses for smaller sites\, such as strip retail centers\, brownfields\, old industrial buildings and commercial buildings. The first workshop in this series\, held January 17\, focused on repurposing larger sites\, such as old railyards\, larger brownfields and suburban office complexes. Repurposing underutilized sites is a strategy for supporting economic growth in many of North Jersey’s communities\, particularly those that have struggled to adapt to New Jersey’s post-industrial economy. These sites are often vacant or poorly maintained and can impede efforts to improve and redevelop a community. This workshop will consider strategies for reusing these once-productive properties that have characteristics preventing their easy reuse in a changing economy. These sites include\, older and smaller buildings in former industrial centers; brownfield sites awaiting remediation with substantial opportunities for redevelopment; and strip retail centers that no longer meet the current needs of retailers and consumers.\nThe speakers at the workshop have years of experience developing and redeveloping properties throughout North Jersey and finding solutions for their productive repurposing. \nFor more information: https://togethernorthjersey.com/?ai1ec_event=repurposing-underutilized-properties-to-encourage-economic-growth&instance_id=37104 https://togethernorthjersey.com/?ai1ec_event=repurposing-underutilized-properties-to-encourage-economic-growth&instance_id=37104 URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/repurposing-underutilized-properties-to-encourage-economic-growth/ LOCATION:NJ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180619T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180619T190000 DTSTAMP:20260502T103841 CREATED:20251205T194938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T194938Z UID:21056-1529415000-1529434800@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:Workshop: Finding Resources to Build Projects DESCRIPTION:The Together North Jersey Forum on Funding will provide Together North Jersey (TNJ) stakeholders and partners with information about the potential sources for grants aligned with advancing strategies from the Together North Jersey Regional Plan. The workshop will update participants on the local projects and initiatives being funded by Together North Jersey\, and describe future opportunities for communities. The morning will also feature an overview of the private funding landscape and information on how to find the right grant opportunities for projects and prepare stronger proposals that increase success in getting grants. At the conclusion of the workshop the four Together North Jersey Task Forces will convene to discuss the status of each Task Force’s initiatives and upcoming priorities.Participation in the Task Force meetings is open to anyone who would like to participate\, but not required.\nFor more information: http://togethernorthjersey.com/?ai1ec_event=tnj-institute-finding-resources-to-build-projects&instance_id=37097 http://togethernorthjersey.com/?ai1ec_event=tnj-institute-finding-resources-to-build-projects&instance_id=37097 URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/workshop-finding-resources-to-build-projects/ LOCATION:NJ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20180626T123000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180626T203000 DTSTAMP:20260502T103841 CREATED:20251205T194938Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T194938Z UID:21057-1530016200-1530045000@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:Free Complete Streets Workshop (Newark) DESCRIPTION:The concept of complete streets is to design streets for all users and all ability levels.
