Post-Sandy Maps

The following is a collection of maps and tools that can be used for floodplain analysis, determining flood insurance requirements, or predicting storm surge. Included within this collection are federally produced maps including FEMA’s Advisory Base Flood Elevations map (which was adopted, per emergency rule, by the New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection) in addition to open-source tools like Surging Seas’ storm surge analysis and WNYC’s predicted vs. actual Sandy flood maps.
