FEMA maps online
Posted On: August 28, 2020

The best way to search FEMA maps online is by visiting the FEMA map service center. You can find the map service center by visiting the FEMA website. You can type in an address, place, or latitude and longitude, and the map will tell you the flood risk level for that area. Flood insurance companies will use these maps to determine the cost of flood insurance.


Areas classified as high risk for flooding will pay more for flood insurance than those at a lower risk. It is also mandatory to purchase flood insurance in high-risk areas as mortgage companies will not release a loan until proof of flood insurance. Low to moderate risk areas are not required to have flood insurance. But it's recommended that you purchase flood insurance regardless of your flood risk.


The benefit of having FEMA maps online is that maps from previous years are available for viewing. Having a record of older maps can track flood patterns and help develop ways to reduce flooding. Communities can also help contribute to the flood maps by notifying FEMA of any changes in flooding.
