Quick Guide to Floodplain Mgmt. in NJ
NJAFM has developed and funded a Quick Guide to Floodplain Management in New Jersey, which is now available for desktop printing. The Quick Guide is intended to provide an overview of why and how communities in the State of New Jersey manage development in floodplains to protect people and property.
Bulk copies of the Quick Guide will be available for sale by NJAFM in the near future, so check back soon. This product is a spiral-bound field guide size (5.5” X 8.5”), glossy print, on durable heavy stock paper.
