The flood plane is based on the 100-year flood projection. This indicates that the property in which you are located may have never flooded, but based on the estimates from federal surveys could be damaged in a catastrophic flood. If you feel that the elevation of your property warrants exclusion from the flood plane, the Mapping and Location Center can work with you to take steps for its removal.
