FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Map Modernization

In support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), FEMA has undertaken an effort of flood hazard identification and mapping to update Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for Seminole County . The County’s flood maps are over 30 years old; many are outdated and may not realistically depict the existing flood risk. These maps are created to reflect the base flood event, defined as the flood having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year (also referred to as the 100-year flood).

FEMA’s Map Modernization entails providing flood maps and data for communities nationwide that are more accurate, easier-to-use, and readily available. FEMA has selected Seminole County and its incorporated cities: Altamonte Springs , Longwood, Casselberry , Winter Springs, Oviedo , Lake Mary and Sanford to produce updated flood maps in digital format, and provide users easier access to the flood hazard data. FEMA has requested copies of all local flood related data within Seminole County to assist them with this Map Modernization process.
