Join us in our community efforts to reduce flood risks and enhance resilience.
NFMA Meetings
Northend Flood Mitigation Alliance (NFMA) meetings are designed to bring information to help our members better understand issues and possible solutions for flood mitigation and building resilience.
September 17, 2026
Last month's meeting was canceled due to members working on the Strategic Project Plan.
This document operates as an action-oriented strategic plan and program of work rather than a traditional, rigid strategy.
Key Focus Areas:
- Using What We Know: By leveraging existing reports and studies we don't waste time and money rewriting what has already been reported by the state and universities to the Town.
- Speaking Up: We are urging local, state, and federal leaders to support smart, proactive flood prevention and remediation policies.
- Getting Things Done: We are pushing for practical, on-the-ground fixes such as bulkheads, improved infrastructure, and natural living shorelines.
What We Are Working On Right Now
- Save Our Basin (SOB): A NFMA community project to reduce pollution in the basin and build a healthy living shoreline.
- Establishing Current Bulkhead and Drain Status: We photographed most of the bulkheads and all of the drains on Canal. These are available on the interactive map with descriptions: https://nfmacb.org/bulkheads-and-drains-map
- Listening To The Community: We are gathering information from residents and business owners on Carolina Beach Ave North (CBAN) to identify issues from non-storm flooding.
More details on the above will be provided at the September 17th meeting. Be sure to mark your calendars.
