Property Owners

This page will help property owners locate and obtain copies of their floodmaps, understand how to read them, and request a map change they believe is warranted.

 

Floodmaps are the tool FEMA uses to determine the flood risk homeowners face. Prior to the enactment of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), homeowners had no mechanism to protect themselves from the devastation of flooding and in many parts of the United States unchecked development in the floodplain was exacerbating the flood risk.
