Industrial Facilities and Flood Hazards
Planners, decision makers, and leaders across New Jersey are working to make our state more resilient to changing environmental conditions such as extreme weather events and flood hazards including sea level rise. To assist with these efforts, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency provided Rutgers University with support to better understand potential hazards that may be posed by industrial and commercial operations in relationships to past, present, and future environmental conditions.
This storymap presents the data, describes the analysis, and reports on outcomes.
