Flooding
Little Ferry sits on the Hackensack River, with Losen Slote, Indian Lake and Willow Lake in the borough. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Areas covering most of its land. The borough takes part in FEMA's Community Rating System, and its flood insurance and floodplain page links to a Base Flood Elevation lookup, a local flood inundation map and the elevation application process. To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
