Limits of Moderate Wave Action: Area affected by waves heights between 1.5 and 3 feet.Area subject to wave heights 3 feet or more and extending to the inward limit of the Coastal Primary Sand Dune Areas subject to a 1% annual chance flooding with flood depths between 1 to 3 feet.Areas subject to a 1% annual chance flooding event caused by ponding water.This area is most likely to flood during a flood event. Areas subject to a 1% annual chance flooding event with water elevation levels determined (Base Flood Elevation).Areas are subject to flooding depths less than 1 foot during a 1% chance flood.
Areas that have a 0.2% annual chance of flooding and may see flooding if the flood event is abnormally large.Areas that are outside the 0.2% annual chance of flooding.These zones were determined scientifically using a study that predicts where water will go during major flooding events (one percent (1%) annual chance of flooding). The City of Norfolk has multiple flood zones that are shown on our maps. The FIRM and the associated development requirements are implemented by City of Norfolk Zoning Ordinance in Article 3.9.7 along with the Virginia Uniform Statewide Building Code.

The DFIRMs are being released on a community by community basis. FEMA’s Risk Assessment, Mapping and Planning Partners (RAMP) is producing the DFIRM product in Frederick County. MDE is the Cooperating Technical Partner (CTP) on three of these products in Baltimore City, Baltimore County, and Montgomery County. Currently, 4 of the 6 oldest floodplain mapping products are in production to be remapped. Using the schedule for map production in 2017, the average age of the DFIRM products in the Maryland is 4 years with 75% of the State at 3 years or less. The improvements in spatial accuracy provided by the new base map, and the availability of electronic floodplain information should greatly enhance the ability to use the maps for planning, permitting, and insurance applications. The DFIRMs are digitally converted flood insurance rates maps that will be compatible with GIS (Geographic Information Systems). This site is designed to guide homeowners/renters as well as communities through the process of determining their current flood risk as well as future flood risk based on the preliminary Digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (DFIRMs).
The State of Maryland in conjunction with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has been systematically updating Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for communities over the past several years.
