- No Adverse Impact (NAI) is defined as "an approach that ensures the action of any property owner, public or private, does not adversely impact the property and rights of others." The objective of NAI is the safe and proper development of land subject to hazard.
- The NAI workshop breifly discusses the origins of NAI, how it works in hazard management, how it's regarded by the courts, and how it can be applied to assure the property rights of everyone in the community are respected and protected.
