All homes in storm-battered Rumson have been moved out of the most vulnerable flood zone under new flood-elevation maps released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency Monday.
Mayor John Ekdahl says the revised maps are significantly different than the advisory maps released back in December.
One of the things that becomes apparent as it effects Rumson is that we virtually lost all V zones, Ekdahl said. Even Barley Point [Island}, where we lost four homes, was removed.”
