With the 10-year anniversary of Hurricane Sandy approaching, New Jersey officials are reviving a plan to make developers and towns consider the risks of future flooding brought on by climate change.

The state Department of Environmental Protection has scheduled two public meetings this week to discuss development in inland flood-prone areas. That puts New Jersey back on track to consider and eventually adopt regulations Gov. Phil Murphy first pledged to advance more than two years ago, after the state abandoned a plan to fast-track the rules amid pushback from builders this summer. 

A flood rule under consideration could have a major impact on what growth looks like in New Jersey, advocates and developers alike say. WNYC's Karen Yi joined All Things Considered host Sean Carlson to discuss the latest.
