Directs DEP to establish artificial intelligence flood prediction and mapping tool.

Summary

This bill directs New Jersey's Department of Environmental Protection to develop an artificial intelligence tool that predicts and maps flood risk at the neighborhood level using satellite imagery, weather data, and climate models, making it available to municipalities, emergency management officials, and the public. The department is authorized to contract with technology companies and universities and establish a grant program to support the tool's development, with all contracts and awards required to be publicly disclosed. The bill requires the department to continuously update the tool and adopt regulations to implement its provisions.
