Elevation preserves resources – every 1,000 square foot of wood frame house = 250 trees Elevation preserves diversity of population at the shore by preserving more affordable buildings Elevation preserves the memories – people are attached to the buildings through their family memories Elevation is cheaper that demolition and new build and it preserves rateables/revenues for communities

22. $100 million HMGP = +3,000 elevations RREM Phase 1 = around 1,500 elevations RREM Phase 2 = ??? elevations

23. +400,000 buildings need elevation in NJ – rough estimate

24. FEMA estimates 88,000 NJ-NFIP buildings need elevation

25. At this rate of elevation it will take 80 years to just elevate NFIP buildings that are non-compliant and 400 years at 1,000/elevated per year

26. NJ FLOOD HAZARD MITIGATION ISSUES: Lack of good solid requirements for contractor registration – same as in gulf states has resulted in many newcomers claiming to be elevation experts has resulted in multiple houses dropped and three injured to date. Lack of home elevation education/training which is required to build elevation industry capacity to meet ultimate demand Lack of New Jersey based elevation contractors
