How Flooding Affects County
Flooding is one of the main hazards that affect Camden County. Over 54% of the county is located in a flood zone, however due to the flat contour of Camden County, areas located outside the flood zone can experience some sort of flooding. Areas outside the flood zone usually flood due to clogged drainage systems.
