Current Effective Floodplain Map Viewer
Use DWR's Statewide DFIRM web map to view current effective digital floodplain panels, view base flood elevations, and review Letters of Map Revision.
You can search for and view Letters of Map Change (LOMCs) on the Statewide LOMC web map.
On both web maps, you can find a specific location by zooming into a desired location or using the address locator tool.
If you need help using these maps, contact the Floodplain Mapping Specialist.
DWR became a Cooperating Technical Partner with FEMA in September 1999. Through this agreement and as part of the Flood Map Modernization effort, FEMA provided funding to DWR to oversee the production of countywide digital FIRMs (DFIRMs) throughout the State of Kansas.
The Flood Map Modernization program ended in fiscal year 2008. Mapping projects in Kansas are now funded under a new effort called Risk MAP (Mapping, Assessment, and Planning). Risk MAP provides communities with flood information and tools to enhance their mitigation plans and take action to better protect their citizens. Through more precise flood mapping products, risk assessment tools, and planning and outreach support, Risk MAP strengthens local ability to make informed decisions about reducing risk.
