Full Notification

The City of Hoboken remains under a State of Emergency, with additional rainfall, heavy at times, expected into the late afternoon and evening hours. Flooding is likely in low-lying areas. The next high tide for our area is at approximately 9:10 p.m.

Mayor Bhalla and the Office of Emergency Management ask residents to avoid all non-essential travel and remind residents not to walk or drive around barricades or through flooded areas. Driving through floodwaters can be dangerous. Stranded vehicles can impede emergency responses. Do not remove flood advisory signs or move barricades from flood-prone areas. 
 
Residents should report flooded intersections and clogged drain inlets by calling the NHSA Hotline at (866) 689-3970.
