Flooding

Hasbrouck Heights has relatively little mapped flood risk. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows only a small area of Special Flood Hazard Area (Zone AE) within the borough, and most of the borough lies outside mapped flood zones. The county Flood Insurance Study notes that no individual FEMA flood study was ever published for the borough. Flooding can still happen outside mapped zones, for example from stormwater. To check a specific address, use the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
