Hudson County is located on the western bank of the Hudson River.  It has coastline along Upper New York Bay, the Kill van Kull, Newark Bay, and both the Hackensack and Passaic Rivers.  It is the most densely populated county in the state of New Jersey and its citizens represent diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds. The county hosts one of the country’s largest world financial centers in addition to being a major transportation hub that includes commuter and freight rail lines as well as the Lincoln and Holland tunnels.  This heavily populated, metropolitan environment makes Hudson County communities particularly susceptible to various technological, manmade and natural disasters.
