Flood Advisory Board Minutes
The board discussed the challenges regarding permitting and the emergency removal of downed trees in waterways, including potential coordination with state legislators and the NJDEP. Other key topics included the borough's status on the emergency management accreditation program, updates on the 2026 River Hazard Assessment and Drone Survey RFP, and the requirement to create a Watershed Improvement Plan. The members also planned for future outreach activities, such as a rain barrel workshop and participation in National Night Out, and evaluated the potential to apply for a FEMA grant for the Block 9512 Resiliency Park Project. Additionally, reports were provided on storm water management, flood legislation, and open space committee activities.
