Description

On this episode, we talk with Steven Rodzinak, director of code enforcement for the borough of Bound Brook, New Jersey about if specific building codes hurt or help FEMA reimbursement.  Bridgewater, New Jersey is situated on a floodplain of the Raritan River and has experienced devastating floods for decades from Hurricane Dora in 1971 to Hurricane Ida 50 years later. According to Riskfactor. com, 70% of all properties in the municipality have greater than a 25% chance of being severely affected by flooding over the next 30 years. 

Mr. Rodzinak talks to us about the intersection of building codes and the impact on federal emergency management agency, FEMA funding to answer the question if specific building codes hurt or help with FEMA reimbursement.
