Scientists predict more extreme weather events fueled by climate change. What does this mean for a coastal state like New Jersey that has a number of chemical facilities located in flood prone areas?

Keynote Speaker: Matt Campo, Rutgers University

Using Science, Planning and Policy to Adapt to Future Flood Hazards

There will also be a panel discussion on the impacts of extreme weather on environmental justice communities and the workers who ultimately clean up toxic flood waters. We will also discuss general health issues caused by extreme weather from vector diseases to air pollution. Speakers include:

• Valorie Caffee, Board Member, NJ Environmental Justice Alliance
• Diego Cazar, Organizer, New Labor
• Norah Langweiler, Jersey Renews Organizer, WEC
