Update Project

More Project InfoThe Borough joined the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)in 1985 with the adoption of the FIRM maps. Since that time a number of flood events as well as substantial population growth have revealed inadequacy of those maps. Development has expanded into areas where the flood risk was not previously studied, leaving folks in harm’s way without any type of warning. Additionally, some of the existing flood zones are flawed, showing risk uphill from the actual area of risk. In 2013, several community meetings were held throughout the Borough and the feedback was clear: the flood maps needed to be updated.
