How the NJ Coastal Coalition Bolsters Flood Protection | 6/10/2025 Tidal Flooding Talk

We kick off this episode with a brief lesson from Palma on the building terms you need to know for putting a home or business in a flood zone. Then, we bring on Paul Dietrich, the New Jersey Coastal Coalition's organizer of the Multi-Jurisdictional Program for Public Information (MJPPI) for the remainder of the episode. Paul runs the LARGEST MJPPI in America, bringing extra flood insurance rate reductions for member towns in Cape May and Atlantic counties. He discussed what goes into running the MJPPI. Then, Paul makes his case for why there's never a bad slide of pizza at the Jersey Shore. Stick around for whatever you like best. Watch Tidal Flooding Talk (TFT) every Tuesday at 7PM. TFT is America's only regular show that focuses on coastal flooding resiliency. TFT is organized by the New Jersey Coastal Coalition (NJCC), a group of towns near the coast and rivers that united after Superstorm Sandy hit in 2012.
