The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is working with State agencies, regional entities, tribes, and communities to update the flood hazard risk information and produce new digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs). Per FEMA’s new Expanded Appeals Process, studies and Physical Map Revisions (PMRs) for which Proposed Flood Elevation Determination Notices have yet to be published in the Federal Register and those for which preliminary FIRMs and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) reports will be issued on or after December 1, 2011, will be posted to county-specific pages on this site. Studies processed using the appeal initiation process in effect prior to December 1, 2011, will not be restarted. To reference studies that are already effective, please visit the Map Service Center.
To determine the status of Preliminary Map products and location of Revised Flood Hazard Maps for Arizona counties interested parties should:
- Click on the county name from the Counties listed in the left column of this page to view preliminary FIRMs or Letters of Map Revision (LOMR), where applicable.
- Visit the Community Map Repository in the community of interest to view paper copies of the FIRMs and the accompanying FIS reports. The Community Map Repository is the local office in a participating community where the NFIP flood hazard maps, FIS reports, and related products (e.g., Letters of Map Change) are kept for local use and viewing by citizens. The addresses of the Community Map Repositories are provided on the FIRM indexes; you may also obtain information on the Community Map Repositories by contacting the FEMA Map Information Exchange (FMIX), toll free, at 1-877-FEMA MAP (1-877-336-2627).

| | La Paz County Provisionally Accredited Levee |
Study Type:
Physical Map Revision
County:
La Paz
State:
Arizona
Description:
BakerAECOM conducted a scoping meeting on November 18, 2009 and will perform the behind levee flood hazard analyses to map the area depicted as provisionally accredited on the August 28, 2008 effective countywide Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM). The landward areas will either be mapped as located in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), or will be mapped to show the levee is accredited, based on the information the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX receives from the levee owner(s).
| | Maricopa Countywide Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map |
Study Type:
Countywide
County:
Maricopa
State:
Arizona
Description:
The Appeals, Revisions, and Amendments to National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Map guide provides basic information about the technical standards to be applied and the administrative procedures to be followed by local officials and others who request changes to the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panels and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Report.
The accredited levees, de-accredited levees, Provisionally Accredited Levees (PAL), and non-levee embankments have been summarized for each community. The panel number for each levee or non-levee embankment on the list is provided. Please scroll through the Maricopa County Levee Inventory to find the listing for your community.
During the course of the project, we revised the panelization scheme presented in the 2005 Maricopa County FIRMs to meet FEMA’s Guidelines and Specifications. The Maricopa Panelization Update document provides a translation from the 2005 revision to the current FIRM revision to help local officials and others determine the new panel number.
The listing of panels for each community can also be found on the map index (D04013CIND0A.pdf).
| | Physical Map Revision for Levee Analysis |
Study Type:
Physical Map Revision
County:
Maricopa
State:
Arizona
Description:
The Provisionally Accredited Levee (PAL) agreements for the levees in Maricopa County, Arizona expire on June 25, 2011. In accordance with Title 44, Chapter 1, Section 65.10 of the Code of Federal Regulations (44 CFR 65.10), it is the responsibility of the community or other party seeking recognition of a levee system, to provide the data and documentation defined and outlined in 44 CFR 65.10. BakerAECOM will review submitted data, and new hydrologic and hydraulic analyses, and if the data is acceptable, levees will be mapped as accredited on the Countywide Digital Flood Insurance Rate Map (DFIRM) for Maricopa County scheduled to become effective summer 2012.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's studies for mapping flood hazards behind levee systems that cannot be recognized as providing protection from the base (1-percent-annual-chance) flood will not be finalized until the new set of guidelines for mapping flood hazards behind non-accredited levees are developed. These levees will be mapped on the Countywide DFIRM with a PAL note.

| | Yavapai County Physical Map Revision |
Study Type:
Physical Map Revision
County:
Yavapai
State:
Arizona
Description:
The Lynx Creek and Dry Creek re-mapping is currently delayed as the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Region IX receives data from levee owners. The Willow Creek levee re-mapping project is delayed as FEMA evaluates its guidelines for mapping behind non-accredited levees.
FEMA is currently updating its guidelines for mapping flood hazards behind levee systems that cannot be recognized as providing protection from the base flood. The new set of guidelines for mapping flood hazards behind non-accredited levees are planned to be developed by the end of this year. As a result, FEMA will not issue a determination letter finalizing the revised Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) panels and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Report until updated analyses of the Dry Creek, Lynx Creek, and Willow Creek that meet FEMA guidelines are available.
