New FEMA Flood Maps

New flood elevation maps scheduled for release Monday by FEMA show a dramatic reduction in high risk velocity, or V- ZONES from earlier maps, a change that could slash rebuilding costs for thousands of New Jersey residents.

It appears that the Sweetwater Area of Mullica is in the A-ZONE.  A high-risk flood zone that is not likely to see waves on top of flood waters.
