Floodplain Mapping in Michigan


The NFIP is updating and producing flood maps throughout Michigan. Map Modernization was funded from Fiscal Year 2004 through Fiscal year 2008. Map production is continuing under the Risk Map program which started in Fiscal year 2009. Currently there are maps in production under each program.

The new floodplain maps incorporate the best available hydraulic and hydrologic information, aerial photographs, and any new topography where it was available to show the floodplain as accurately as possible.
