Episode Details

Mayor Michael Collins of Margate, NJ, right at our Jersey Shore home, addressed Margate's persistent coastal flooding. He's advocated for tailored, cost-effective solutions rather than a single fix.

He commended the New Jersey Coastal Coalition for resource-sharing and emphasized post-Hurricane Sandy building code changes, raising homes for resilience, despite altering the town’s character. Effective coordination among city departments and multi-platform communication, including social media, were crucial for public awareness. Collins stressed educating residents, especially newcomers, about flood risks.

Margate has maintained its Class 5 Community Rating System status, securing a 25% flood insurance discount through FEMA-compliant construction standards.
