About the Flood Institute
The Flood Institute is the research and outreach arm of the New Jersey Coastal Coalition. Formed in response to the 2012 Super Storm Sandy, the New Jersey Coastal Coalition is a 501 c 3 non-profit organization, whose mission is to build more resilient communities at the Jersey Shore. This group of New Jersey waterfront communities meets monthly to discuss common municipal flooding issues.
Through our partnership with the New Jersey Coastal Coalition, the Flood Institute will share its findings and become a resource for New Jersey communities as they adapt to changing ecological conditions.
