APAPASE is collaborating with a team of ten academic institutions led by Rutgers University to improve climate risk management in the New York City – New Jersey- Philadelphia region.  Supported by the National Science Foundation, the Megalopolitan Coastal Transformation Hub (MACH) includes climate and sea level scientists, civil engineers, urban planners, economists, emergency management specialists, environmental anthropologists, decision analysis experts, social scientists, and humanists, among others. 

As part this effort, the Rutgers team is conducting an online survey of members of nonprofit organizations representing the following sectors: municipal finance, community planning, flood plain management, public health, and post-disaster relief organizations.  We believe that participation in this survey is an important opportunity for our members to contribute to coastal climate resilience efforts and greater public understanding of climate change adaptation strategies in our region.  We urge all of our members to participate in the online survey.

The survey will take approximately 15 minutes and it is anonymous. The survey asks questions related to climate-change related impacts, climate change mitigation and resilience actions, and information sources.

We strongly encourage you to take the survey on a computer rather than on a mobile phone, for ease of viewing and answering the questions.

We ask you to please complete the survey by March 31, 2022. The Rutgers University project team will share results with our organization and we will make it available to our members.

If you have any questions, you may contact Jeanne Herb at (jherb@ejb.rutgers.edu) or 848-932-2725.

Thank you in advance for your participation!
