Borough Engineer dmarks@rumsonnj.gov The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has announced that effective immediately the Mitigation Assistance Program (MAP) will accept applications on a rolling basis from New Jersey homeowners who are in flood prone areas and are interested in elevating their home to reduce their risk of flooding in the future. The program is supported by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and helps homeowners cover construction costs for property mitigation against flooding damage, including home elevation. MAP may also provide temporary rental assistance during construction. FEMA’s criteria for property eligibility are based on historical flooding incidents and future flood risk assessments. Homeowners interested in MAP may learn more about the program and request an application on the DCA’s website . While submitting an application does not guarantee financial assistance, it is a crucial step in expressing interest in home elevation and flood mitigation. Homeowners may also contact the Division of Disaster Recovery and Mitigation by emailing MitigationAssistance@dca.nj.gov or calling 609-292-3750. Local officials in areas that experience frequent flooding may wish to share this information with their communities.

This FREE annual family friendly event is a fun-filled day of educational activities that help illustrate ways YOU can help protect our local waterways. Hundreds of families come out each year to take the Passport Challenge!

To reduce the environmental footprint we encouraged folks to walk, ride a bike or carpool, bring a reusable water bottle to refill at the water station, only accept giveaways that you will use, and access information online instead of taking handouts.
