Flooding
Wood-Ridge has less mapped flood risk than its Meadowlands neighbors. FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows only a small area of Zone AE Special Flood Hazard Area, along Berrys Creek near the borough's edge. The borough website's stormwater management links point residents to the FEMA Flood Map Service Center and FloodSmart.gov. To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
