Flood Maps
The FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) has entered a new era. The current FIRMs can be accessed through the FEMA Flood Map Store. The Flood Map Store allows printing of a smaller version of a FIRM called a FIRMette. Also, this website allows you to purchase a FIRM paper panel or CD on-line. Each participating community keeps a paper copy of the FIRMs on file in the local floodplain manager's office.
Questions regarding floodplain development should be directed to the Local Floodplain Manager for your community.
