Floods can happen anytime of the year, anywhere there is precipitation. We expect the CHAMP Preliminary FIRMs will become effective FIRMs in 2021, pending any appeals received by FEMA. Be mindful as floodwaters do not respect the lines on a map. Visit the interactive web map (use button above) to view FEMA’s Preliminary Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for stream reaches studied by CHAMP.

To make such an estimate, the District floodplain engineer will need a map (preferably with a property description) showing the location of the property, an estimate as to how high the property is above the water level of the river, lake or stream, and how far the building site is away from the water. įor site specific questions, the Water Resources Division will provide an estimated 100-year flood elevation. What if a structure is shown in a different flood zone on the new map The new map will not affect continuing insurance policies for a structure built in compliance with local floodplain management regulations and the flood map in effect at the time of construction.

To find your community’s flood map, visit the Flood Map Service Center and search using your property’s address. Each flood zone describes the flood risk for a particular area, and those flood zones are used to determine insurance requirements and costs. Do not rely on this data to determine any actual flooding boundaries in the future. Flood zones are indicated in a community’s flood map. DISCLAIMER: This online tool allows users to look up the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Flood Zone locations relative to their property. A community status book may be obtained from FEMA identifying the communities which have a floodplain map developed under the National Flood Insurance Program.įEMA is also in the process of developing digital flood insurance rate maps (DFIRM). Welcome to the MSD’s Know your Flood Zone App. Of the 1776 communities (Cities, villages, and townships) in Michigan, currently about 1,004 communities have floodplain maps that have been developed by FEMA. The primary source of floodplain mapping information in Michigan is the Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), which are developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
