Resist, Delay, Store, Discharge — A Comprehensive Flood Strategy for Hoboken, USA

Abstract

Within the Sandy-affected region, New Jersey's communities of Jersey City, Hoboken and Weehawken are susceptible to both flash flood and storm surge. As integrated urban environments, discreet one-house-at-a-time solutions do not make sense. What is required is a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the density and complexity of the context, galvanizes a diverse community of beneficiaries, and defends the entire city, its assets and citizens.
