The degree of coordination among the municipalities and counties of the Raritan River Valley offers a unique opportunity for FEMA to work through the Sustainable Raritan River Collaborative to assess public knowledge, economic impacts, and risk management in mitigation of flood hazards in a focused riparian corridor. The project team is working on framework issues that can form an assessment tool for communities to use in making land use decisions in light of storm surges and increased stormwater challenges in the region.
