COMMUNITY EXTRAS
A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY
Margate City Flood Facts
Flooding in our city is caused by the
ocean and bay waters during hurricanes
and northeasterly storms; flooding can
come with little warning and cause extensive damage. The first thing you should
do is check your flood hazard information
list, flood maps and flood protection references are available at the Margate City
Public Library. You can also call 609-822
-1974 or visit the Margate Building Department located at 9001 Winchester Avenue at the Margate Municipal Building;
someone will explain base flood elevation
for the area in which your house is located. If requested, the Public Works Department will visit a property to review its
flood problem and explain ways to stop
flooding and prevent damage. You can
call Public Works at 609-822-5038 for assistance if you have a flood, drainage or
sewer backup problem. If you don’t have
flood insurance, talk to your insurance
agent. Homeowner’s insurance policies do
not cover damage from floods. However,
because Margate City participates in the
National Flood Insurance Program, you
can purchase a separate flood insurance
policy and receive a 25% reduction in
your premium.
