Residents of Downbeach towns, especially those who are part-time residents who may not be familiar with local weather patterns, may be interested in learning more about how to protect themselves and their property from severe weather events at the upcoming Downbeach Community Meeting.
The annual information sharing event will be held 6-9 p.m. Wednesday July 15 during the Sunset at Ski Beach concert, Dorset Avenue at the bay.
Enjoy the concert and between sets hear from local Emergency Management officials, local insurance companies and utility representatives about how to be prepared for hurricane season.
Emergency Management officials from Ventnor, Margate and Longport will join Atlantic County Office of Emergency Management, South Jersey Gas, Atlantic City Electric, Comcast and a local veterinarian, who will discuss steps to be taken in advance of severe flooding, wind and rain events.
Retired National Weather Service forecaster Jim Eberwine and dual-certified Meteorologist Joe Martucci will present a weather outlook, including information about this year’s El Nino.
Atlantic County will provide an update on its Multi-jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan.
Residents can also learn how the municipalities are working to improve their town’s Community Rating System score, which can reduce the cost of flood insurance for property owners in the region.
