Yesterday, New Jersey officially passed one the nation's strongest flood risk "right to know" laws in the nation! Big shoutout to all the #Rise2Resilience partners who have championed this legislation - Waterfront Alliance, New Jersey Future, NRDC 🌎🏡, New Jersey LCV, Coalition for the Delaware River Watershed, and more!

Emergency action to move forward NY state’s flood risk right to know bill! It only takes a few seconds! EDF Growing Returns


As early as next Tuesday, the New York Assembly has an opportunity to pass a major flood risk right-to-know bill. Encourage your Assembly Member to vote "YES" by sending a letter in the Action Alert below. Shoutout to Assemblymember Robert Carroll for his leadership! #Rise2Resilience


Right on time for the start of Atlantic hurricane season! With Assemblymember Robert Carroll's continued leadership, flood disclosure passed with a 105-38 vote today. Only one step away from Governor Kathy Hochul's signature: the NY State Senate. #Rise2Resilience

Indeed - thank you to (also my actual rep!) Assemblymember Robert Carroll & @CarlHeastie - Sen. Stewart-Cousins & Brad Hoylman-Sigal 🌈🥯 - looking to your leadership in the Senate to help us move this important right to know bill forward!



New York gets a failing grade for the amount of flood risk information that must be disclosed to homebuyer. But the state could get an "A"...if the State Senate passes this bill for the third year in a row. via Times Union Joel Scata Michael Gerrard timesunion.com/opinion/articl…

Kudos @JoelScataNRDC and Michael Gerrard for a great piece! Thank you Assemblymember Robert Carroll for leading this bill to victory in the Assembly. Now, we must pass @BradHoylman's companion bill in the State Senate. It's time to guarantee a flood risk right-to-know for every New Yorker!
