Flooding Survey Based on Nov. 11, 2012 interim data from the FEMA Modeling Task Force Hurricane Sandy Impact Analysis, which combines detailed elevation data with U.S. Geological Survey inspections of high water marks. Flood Zones Coastline inundation zones calculated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers using worst-case storm, wave and tide calculations together with elevation data. View the New Jersey hurricane evacuation studies, and the New York state evacuation studies. In New York City, the state zones are superseded by the city's own evacuation zones, which draw from the USACE surveys.
