Storm Surge/Hurricane Categories

Category 1 and 2Category 3 and 4

Hudson County

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers storm surge data/maps are to beused in combination with other GIS data or satellite imagery toenable managers to plan for major hazards events, and the analysiswould only evaluate the vulnerability of an area to hurricane stormsurge. This type of analysis would not evaluate the vulnerability ofan area to high winds or fresh water flooding. Therefore, the surgedata/maps alone should not be used as a tool for determining whichareas are susceptible to hurricane hazards. Emergency managementpersonnel may take factors other than storm surge into considerationwhen they define evacuation zones. Coastal residents should heedevacuation orders and recommendations of emergencymanagement officials when storms threaten.
