It's Time for Bloomfield and Essex County to pay attention to updating Flooding Infrastructure
Essex County is drowning. We are losing our cars, home values and insurance coverage at an alarming rate even during regular 'summer storms' - a hurricane will be catastrophic for us.
In 2022 Bloomfield bonded $1.5m for a Flood Engineer's Study - where is it?!
Climate Change and Infrastructure in Essex County are outdated. We are flooding due to undersized and antiquated drainage systems in Essex County Roads. needs to take into account adjusted annual rainfall factors in 2025 which increased by about 18% since Atlas 14 data. We need a comprehensive Flood mitigation plan that looks towards the future, instead of looking backwards and only meeting minimum standards based on outdated projections.
We demand TRANSPARENCY - FINISH THE REPORT!
Take Action Now!
Speak up - Attend Bloomfield Town Council Meetings and March Meet & Greets to demand they release the study!
