National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP): Flood Insurance Rate Map Data is Still Available
Although the Map Service Center will be down for maintenance until at least May 28 while we move to a new facility, NFIP Flood Insurance Rate map information is available from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL). This map layer represents the current effective data of the NFIP where maps have been modernized and made digital.
The National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) can be accessed through:
