FEMA Floodplain Mapping and Revisions

Expert Analysis to Support Accurate Floodplain Designations

FEMA floodplain mapping and revisions provide critical updates to reflect accurate flood risks and support responsible development. Whether you need to update existing floodplain boundaries, request a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR), or assess project impacts within a floodplain, our team delivers data-driven solutions that align with FEMA regulations.

FEMA Floodplain Mapping and Revisions

Benefits

Assess and Update Floodplain Boundaries

Through detailed hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, we analyze flood risks and determine whether FEMA flood maps need adjustments.

Address Compliance With FEMA and Local Regulations

Our floodplain studies and map revision requests are designed to align with FEMA standards and community floodplain management requirements.

Support Development and Risk Reduction Efforts

Accurate mapping helps property owners, developers, and municipalities make informed decisions about flood risks and mitigation strategies.

What to Expect

The FEMA floodplain mapping and revision process provides data-driven solutions for accurate flood risk assessments. Here’s what to expect:

* Every project is unique! Exact steps and services will vary.

1. Floodplain Analysis and Base Flood Elevation (BFE) Determination

We conduct hydrologic and hydraulic studies to assess flood risk areas and determine the Base Flood Elevation (BFE).


2. Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) and Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) Requests

Our team prepares applications and supporting documentation to update FEMA flood maps for properties, developments, and infrastructure projects.


3. FEMA Coordination and Regulatory Compliance

We work closely with FEMA, state, and local agencies to facilitate map updates and ensure compliance with floodplain management requirements.


4. Floodway and Flood Fringe Evaluations

We assess project impacts within floodways and flood fringe areas to support development planning and mitigation strategies.


5. Modeling and Documentation for Map Changes

Our team provides hydrologic and hydraulic modeling reports, mapping revisions, and necessary regulatory documentation for FEMA submittals.


6. Risk Reduction and Mitigation Strategies

We help property owners and municipalities develop flood mitigation measures and assess alternatives to minimize flood risks.
