FEMA FLOOD ZONE MAP – New Flood Hazard Zone
FEMA has released new Draft Flood Hazard Areas maps for Bergen County. FHA maps show the limits of the 100 year storm event that in turn is used to show flood limits that include or exclude your home from flood insurance requirements.
FEMA and NJDEP are offering two informational seminars – the general public is invited to Open House Sessions – February 10, 2015 at One Bergen County Plaza, Hackensack; and February 11, 2015 at the Police and Fire Safety Academy at 281 Campgaw Road, Mahwah. Both sessions begin at 4PM with a tentative end at 8PM.

If someone just used some common sense an widened the brook as it makes that “S” past Stevens and the RHS Stadium and raised the bridge our flooding would be reduced to almost nothing. That bottleneck and low bridge back everything up.
“If someone just used some common sense an widened the brook as it makes that “S” past Stevens and the RHS Stadium and raised the bridge our flooding would be reduced to almost nothing. That bottleneck and low bridge back everything up.”
That might just move the flooding to a point further downstream. The East Ridgewood Avenue, Spring Avenue, and/or Grove Street bridges might then become the bottleneck.
Wow #1 you really think the DEP will let them do that?
