Flooding

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer maps Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area along the borough's Hudson River shoreline, with some 0.2%-annual-chance (Zone X shaded) areas; most of the borough is mapped as minimal flood hazard (Zone X). Bergen County's current FEMA flood maps took effect on August 28, 2019. The borough's Flood Management page says Public Works clears catch basins before heavy storms, notes that homes in the SFHA are eligible for federal flood insurance, and points residents to FEMA. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
