Weathering The Storm: Increased Resiliency a Decade After Superstorm Sandy

In recognition of the 10th anniversary of Superstorm Sandy, we pause to reflect and evaluate on how our state has become more resilient to environmental impacts, with an emphasis on storms and extreme weather. Join us for this webinar series as we learn from experts on how New Jersey has become more resilient.

This program is a collaboration between two Rutgers Cooperative Extension programs, the Earth Day, Every Day (E2D2) program and the Marine Extension Program Seminar Series (MEPSS).
