Hear Hoboken Mayor Zimmer’s interview on NPR about flooding; Stevens prof and Riverkeeper weigh in

HOBOKEN — Hoboken Mayor Dawn Zimmer was interviewed on NPR Monday morning about her proposed solutions to hurricane flooding in the city, including microgenerators to keep high rises running, and floodgates.
“I’d rather have walls around a city to protect it rather than have a city that’s destroyed,” she says.
A professor and oceanographer at the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken also weighs in, as does a member of the Riverkeeper foundation.
