Flooding
The Borough's history page describes the area as lying between the Passaic and Saddle Rivers. The Passaic River's Dundee Dam sits just south of the borough. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zone AE) in parts of the borough, and Elmwood Park is a community covered by the county Flood Insurance Study. No municipal flood-information page was found. To check whether a specific address is in a mapped flood zone, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
