Currently 13 towns in Atlantic and Cape May Counties are working together and formed a MJPPI as part of FEMA’s Community Rating System (CRS) program.   The MJPPI was started in 2017 and is currently the largest MJPPI in the Nation.

The towns include:

Each town participates in the mandatory 2  annual meetings which they discuss goals, outreach topics and priority audiences for public outreach of flooding issues that effect our towns.  We also work with several stakeholders that help the towns deliver a variety of outreach topics.
