Closter has several mapped flood areas. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zones AE and A, including regulatory floodways) along Tenakill Brook and its tributaries, the Dwars Kill and its tributary, Kips Brook and Charlies Creek, and near the Oradell Reservoir, plus 0.2%-annual-chance (Zone X shaded) areas. Bergen County's current FEMA flood maps took effect on August 28, 2019. The borough has a stormwater outreach page but no flood-specific page was found.
