Risk and

CHALLENGES

The Resilient NJ Raritan River and Bay Communities program aims to develop a roadmap to address flooding in the municipalities of Carteret, Old Bridge, Perth Amboy, South Amboy, Sayreville, South River, and Woodbridge. This joint effort between the municipalities, the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP), and Middlesex County provides an opportunity for the area to become more resilient and improve the quality of life for its more than 300,000 residents.

The Resilient NJ Raritan River and Bay Communities lie at the confluence of the Raritan River and the Arthur Kill. The diverse residents of the region have experienced flooding in the past caused by heavy precipitation or coastal storms. Learn more about the region and its flood risk by exploring the About the Region and Risk sections of this website.

We invite you to visit this website often to learn about how you can participate in the Resilient NJ Raritan River and Bay Communities project and track its progress and successes.
