Recent storms such as Hurricane Irene, Superstorm Sandy and Winter Storm Jonas have demonstrated the need for an effective coastal resiliency plan. Businesses, emergency management coordinators and other "non-resiliency experts" need to work together to better understand the concept of coastal resiliency in our region, and learn about the efforts that are currently taking place along the Jersey Shore.

Presentations and topics will be of special interest (but not limited) to:

• Coastal Business Owners
