FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer shows Special Flood Hazard Areas (Zones AE and A, including regulatory floodway) in the township along these waterways. The current Bergen County flood maps took effect August 28, 2019. No dedicated municipal flood-information page was found on the township website. Its Emergency Management page is the closest resource. To check a specific address, search it on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center.
