| | FEMA Flood Hazard Areas | The FEMA Flood Hazard Layer represents the location and attributes of flood insurance risk zones from the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) databases published by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and any Letters of Map Revision (LOMRs) that have been issued against those databases since their publication date. It is updated on a monthly basis. The FIRM Database is the digital, geospatial version of the flood hazard information shown on the published paper FIRMs. The FIRM Database depicts flood risk information and supporting data used to develop the risk data. The primary risk classifications used are the 1-percent-annual-chance flood event, the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood event, and areas of minimal flood risk. The floodway, 100-year floodplain/SFHA (Special Flood Hazard Area), and the 500-year floodplain are all derived from this dataset. | Hazard | 05/31/24 08:07 PM |
