NJAFM 13th Annual Conference

Navigating the Waters of Change”

WHEN: October 24th – 26th, 2017

WHERE: Bally’s Hotel & Casino

Atlantic City, NJ

President Trump took office in January 2017, with new leadership at the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Environmental Protection Agency and other agencies. In addition, New Jersey citizens will elect a new Governor in November 2017. This new leadership at the state and federal level will result in uncertainties regarding floodplain management policies, priorities, programs, and funding.

Regardless of these uncertainties, NJAFM’s commitment to sound floodplain management, hazard mitigation, technical assistance, and professional development remains at the forefront of our mission.

The 13th annual NJAFM conference will highlight the activities that have proven effective in protecting people and property from the impact of floods and storms, and the importance of maintaining these core activities as we adapt to the programmatic challenges expected to result from new state and federal administrations.

Commander Krik Lippold, USN (Ret.) was the Commanding Officer of the USSColewhen it came under a suicide terrorist attack by al Qaeda in the port of Aden, Yemen. During his command, he and his crew distinguished themselves by saving the American war ship from sinking. This event is widely recognized as one of the most brazen acts of terrorism by al Qaeda prior to September 11, 2001.
