Floods Map: Live Flood Zone, Elevation & Risk Tracker
Floods map intelligence platform enables property owners, coastal planners, and emergency responders to simulate sea level rise from 0m to 100m, lookup official FEMA flood zones (Zone AE, VE, and X) by address, and monitor real-time river crest stages worldwide.

How to Read and Use the Floods Map
Straightforward property risk evaluation and situational awareness before extreme weather events.
Search Address or Select Region
Input any US street address, zip code, or coastal landmark. The map geocodes coordinates instantaneously and zooms into parcel-level hazard layers.
Simulate Water Level Rise
Adjust the elevation slider from 0 to 60+ meters. Instantly inspect topography and roads that become submerged under varying hurricane storm surges or rising tides.
Inspect FEMA Zones & River Stages
Toggle official FEMA NFHL boundaries to identify Zone AE, VE, and X designations, or tap active river stations to monitor real-time hydrograph crests.
Official FEMA Flood Zone Classifications
Quick reference summary of Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA), coastal velocity zones, and minimal risk designations under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
100-Year Base Floodplain
Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) with determined Base Flood Elevations (BFEs). Mandatory federal flood insurance requirement for all federally backed mortgages.
Coastal High Hazard Areas
Coastal corridors subject to wave action of 3 feet or greater during 100-year storm surges. Requires specialized piling foundations and open lattice ground floors.
Minimal & Moderate Hazard
Areas situated outside the 100-year and 500-year floodplains. Flood insurance is not legally mandated by lenders, though 25% of NFIP claims still occur here.
