Atlantic County Coastal Restudy Updates
WHAT IS THE NY & NJ COASTAL RESTUDY?
The Coastal Restudy, which began in November 2017, will re-examine the flood risk information for communities in New York and New Jersey. New storm surge analysis and wave modeling will produce revised flood maps for Coastal Communities in New Jersey ( Atlantic, Bergen, Burlington, Cape May, Essex, Hudson, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean, and Union counties).
WHY IS THE RESTUDY NECESSARY?
FEMA issued preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps for the area in 2013-2014. New York City appealed the maps in 2015, citing concerns with aspects of the storm surge analysis. FEMA responded to the appeal and is conducting a restudy of the couples storm surge and wave modeling, overland wave height and runup modeling, and floodplain mapping.
