FEMA maintains updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). The FIRM maps delineate the boundaries of the floodplain. The boundaries of the floodplain are determined by FEMA consultants. FIRM maps can be found here.
In order for Warwick Township to remain in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), FEMA required that the township update our floodplain ordinance to reflect their new maps. Being a member of the NFIP offers landowners within the floodplain the opportunity for reduced flood insurance premiums.
If your property is in the floodplain and you are planning on building, reconstructing, or altering your house or accessory structures, please complete the Floodplain permit. The permit can be found on the Permits and Forms page.
Real-time flood gauge information can be found here.
