Flood Insurance Study - Flood County, USA

A Flood Insurance Study is a compilation and presentation of flood risk data for specific watercourses, lakes, and coastal flood hazard areas within a community. When a flood study is completed for the NFIP, the information and maps are assembled into an FIS. The FIS report contains detailed flood elevation data in flood profiles and data tables.

This example FIS was produced by FEMA to aid local officials of communities participating in the National Flood Insurance Program. Though the location of this example study, Flood County, is fictitious, the study was designed to simulate what real-world flood insurance studies looks like, what kind of information they contains, and how to use them.
