As Hurricane Sandy started pummeling New Jersey shore, it is worth looking again at this map, published by The New York City Office for emergency Management, which indicates what New York City are most prone to flooding. The map displays in:
- Deep Orange – Area A, which could be flooded if a hurricane of ANY intensity makes landfall in the New York Area
- Yellow – Area B, which could be flooded if an intensity 2 and higher hurricane makes landfall in the New York Area
- Green – Area C, which could be flooded if an intensity 3 or higher makes landfall in the New York Area
- Dots: Unknown features
