  1. Community Collaboration Success: The Shrewsbury River Flood Warning System Project Manager: Mariana Leckner, Ph.D. , American Military University Stakeholder Partners: Capt. Mauro “Buzz” Baldanza, Oceanport OEM Margaret Murnane, Monmouth County OEM Research Partners: Dr. Thomas Herrington, Stevens Institute of Technology James Nickels, Urban Coast Institute, Monmouth University

  2. Introduction • This presentation is the result of collaborative efforts between: • Monmouth County OEM • NJ Municipalities of: • Highlands • Little Silver • Long Branch • Middletown • Monmouth Beach • Oceanport • Rumson • Sea Bright • Urban Coast Institute of Monmouth University • Stevens Institute of Technology • IOOS and MACOORA

  3. Background • Genesis of collaboration: • Oceanport’s NWS StormReady designation • Multi-jurisdictional impacts of flooding • Funding proposal troubles • Existing IOOS infrastructure in place • Strength in numbers! • Planning • Matching funds & services • Operations and maintenance • Regional mitigation • Partnership successful in obtaining FEMA • PDM funding

  4. Issue Extensive Floodplain Nor’easters Inland Rainfall Hurricane Surge Extremely Vulnerable No existing historical or real time water level information.

  5. Historical flood heights/categories March 2010 flooding *NAVD88

  6. Purpose • Monitoring • Alert/warning • Creating a • database for future • benchmarking Shrewsbury River at Route 36 (Photo: M. Leckner)

  7. Existing MARCOOS Infrastructure

  8. NYHOPS Domain
