During Storms

Past Storm Conditions & Future Coastal Storm Information

The recent nor’easter has passed the New Jersey coast after bringing strong winds, heavy rain, significant coastal flooding and hazardous coastal conditions. New Jersey’s State of Emergency included Atlantic, Burlington, Cape May, Cumberland, Middlesex, Monmouth, Ocean and Salem counties. During the storm, flooding affected some roadways and coastal communities, reinforcing the importance of being prepared for future coastal storms.

For future nor’easters, hurricanes and coastal flooding events, coastal property owners and residents should monitor local conditions closely because impacts can vary significantly by municipality, barrier island location and proximity to the ocean or bay.
