NEW JERSEY'S NEWEST RESILIENCY GUIDANCE DOCUMENTS

Hurricane Sandy, as well as other significant events, exposed vulnerabilities in New Jersey’s water/wastewater infrastructure. As a result, the NJ Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) recently completed four (4) technical guidance documents designed to promote resiliency and sustainability for NJ’s Water Sector. The NJDEP intends to work cooperatively with their regulated systems to implement measures that enhance the State’s ability to sustain Water Sector operations throughout a broad range of meteorological or man-made conditions. The documents can be accessed through the NJDEP’s Division of Water Supply & Geoscience website http://www.nj.gov/dep/watersupply under “What’ New” or the Division of Water Quality webpage at http://www.nj.gov/dep/dwq under “Featured Topics”.

Direct links to individual guidance documents are provided below:

A Note from the Chair of the NYC Post SAME Emergency Preparedness and Infrastructure Resilience Committee:

      To the members NYC Post SAME – We the people of the NYC Region have proved we can take the brunt of weather with strength, agility, grit, and resourcefulness. However in aftermath, the region has shown its vulnerable in recovery. We must identify and isolate weaknesses in our aging infrastructure and populated ocean fronts. We are intelligent enough to work to reinforce each and every one deliberately, methodically.

- First we must activate SAME’s mission; that is, for our civilian architects, engineers, contractors, and material suppliers to plan our way to a bright future with the military and local government. We need measures to preserve and protect us; enhanced standards to better insulate us during worst case scenarios.

- The Emergency Preparedness and Infrastructure Resilience Committee of the New York City Post is creating a matrix of needs, providers, and contacts. Give us your suggestions, participate, and identify lessons learned.

- First Responders need support for the extended absence their duty has extracted from their families. Continue to reach out to your neighbors in your community. Donate generators (from 2KW handheld to 800KW,) cables, and teams to install them. Some among us are still without power.

- The Emergency Preparedness and Infrastructure Resilience Committee is creating a network through short wave radio operators to maintain communication where communication is still lagging. Let us know if your local First Responders need communication assistance.

- Feature your firm’s storm related response in The Military Engineer Magazine.

- Send in photos of NYC Post SAME members working on storm preparation, recovery, and / or clean-up to The Military Engineer Magazine.

- If you are not already a Sustaining Member NYC Post, support these and other SAME efforts with your volunteer expertise.
