Summary

Digital flood-inundation maps for an approximately 295-mile length of the New Jersey coastline and tidewaters through 10-coastal counties stretching from Cumberland County through Bergen County; including Cumberland, Cape May, Atlantic, Ocean, Monmouth, Middlesex, Union, Essex, Hudson, and Bergen counties were created by the U.S Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and New Jersey Office of Emergency Management (NJOEM). The flood-inundation maps depict extent and depth estimates of coastal flooding corresponding to selected tidal elevations recorded by 25 real-time USGS tide gages located throughout the length of the study area coastline. The flood-inundation maps [...]

Purpose

The New Jersey synthetic storm-driven coastal flood-inundation maps are intended to aid residents, community planners, and first-responders in assessing the extent of flooding based on the tide elevation as shown on the USGS gage web pages and as predicted by the National Weather Service. One way to address the informational gaps in flood extent is to produce a library of flood-inundation maps that are referenced to the stages recorded at the USGS tide gages.
