Several flood-prone areas in New Jersey have been earmarked by federal officials to receive additional support to protect communities against climate change.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency designated 483 census tracts nationwide as Community Disaster Resilience Zones earlier this month.
FEMA listed eight zones in New Jersey, including parts of Bergen, Hudson, Atlantic and Cape May counties. The eight zones are in Little Ferry, Moonachie, Kearny, Atlantic City, Pleasantville, Wildwood, North Wildwood and Commercial Township.
