Webinar: Flood Disclosure Laws - Meeting the Challenge of Rising Risk in New Jersey

Webinar Recap: Flood Disclosure Laws - Meeting the Challenge of Rising Risk in New Jersey

Rebecca Jones of EcoAdapt Strategies joined Forerunner co-founder, Susanna Pho, for an informative and insightful discussion on flood disclosure laws. Rebecca provided a comprehensive overview of the distinct roles and responsibilities held by federal, state, and local/county governments. She spoke about the advantages and controversial aspects inherent in disclosures, and offered valuable insights into evolving trends. 

A primary focus of her presentation was the New Jersey flood disclosure law, which just passed in July. Rebecca dove into the details - highlighting the requirements for sellers, landlords, and state agencies, as well as other crucial considerations for those in New Jersey and those in other states.
