Subject: This guide was developed by FEMA's Mitigation Directorate to help citizens determine whether a specific property is in danger of being flooded and whether structures on that property should be insured against flood loss. Maps used in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to identify flood hazards are a critical tool for determining who would be required to carry flood insurance. These maps provide information on common physical features in an area, Special Flood Hazard Areas, base flood elevations or depths, flood insurance risk zones, and areas subject to inundation due to a 500-year flood. This guide describes what information is available on a flood map, the key map elements, how to read a map index, how to read map panels, and how to obtain a FEMA flood map
