Passaic Storm and Flood Facts
- When the remnants of Hurricane Ida intensified after 6 p.m. on September 1, 2021, the Passaic River overflowed and floodwater in parts of Passaic ran more than six feet deep, CBS New York reported. Mayor Hector Lora said "we had firefighters swimming in the streets, as if they were in the river," and a 70-year-old man drowned after floodwater overtook his vehicle; firefighters rescued his wife and son.
- Days later, on September 5, 2021, Passaic County was one of the first six New Jersey counties included in the federal major disaster declaration for Ida (FEMA-4614-DR), opening FEMA Individual Assistance to residents. By mid-October, NJ Spotlight News reported, FEMA had approved more than $138 million for more than 27,000 applicants statewide.
- On the night of March 14, 2024, a side wall of an apartment building at 120 President Street gave way, and close to 70 people were evacuated from the complex and a neighboring building, CBS New York reported. Mayor Lora said the building was old, and pointed to "heavy rains, very strong winds" as worsening existing problems; the cause was still under investigation.

Passaic Public Adjuster FAQs
Passaic property owners often have questions about their rights, responsibilities and options during an insurance claim. Here are answers to common questions. Contact us for a free claim review.
Does Homeland handle flood claims from storms like Ida in Passaic?▶
Yes. Ida’s 2021 flooding put more than six feet of water in parts of Passaic, and Passaic County was in the first federal disaster declaration for Ida. Homeland documents flood, water and wind damage and handles the claim for you; call our local line 24/7 at (973) 899-3777.
Does Homeland handle storm, flood and nor’easter claims in Passaic?▶
Yes. Hurricane, tropical storm, nor’easter, wind and flood claims are among the losses Homeland handles in New Jersey, including claims under both NFIP and private flood policies.
How long does an insurance company have to respond to my claim in New Jersey?▶
New Jersey regulations require insurers to begin an investigation within 10 working days of notice of a claim, and set a 30-calendar-day period, running from receipt of a properly executed proof of loss, for first-party claims. If more time is needed, the insurer must explain why in writing, with updates every 45 days, unless a clear justification or other law provides otherwise.
Does Homeland serve Clifton, Garfield, Wallington, and Rutherford too?▶
