Park, Stillwater, and Carbon Counties have been working with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC) to produce new and updated 1% annual chance (100-year) floodplain maps. The project includes updating all the existing mapped floodplains after the historic 2022 flood event.
Updated floodplain maps will depict the latest, most accurate flood risk data, and will eventually result in updated FEMA floodplain maps. Most of the existing maps for these streams are based on older data. These maps need to be updated periodically. For more information see: Floodplain FAQs Flood Study ProcessProject Timeline
Flood Insurance Rate Maps indicate areas of flood risk. Once this project is complete, new and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps will provide more accurate, current, and detailed data and mapping of flood risk areas. New floodplain studies involve collecting and analyzing data, including: topography, hydrology and hydraulic analysis.
