I live at 227 Front St bet. River St and Mohawk Ave…I see where my property is in the gold colored area of the 500-yr. plan…It’s why I haven’t paid flood insurance…I did prior to 2011’s Hurricane Irene and a short time after that, but was told I didn’t need insurance if I’m just outside of the 100-yr. plan. Please explain. I’ve been paying homeowner’s insurance and I haven’t had to pay flood.
Can u change your flood map colors to the same as FEMA where x500 is gold and 100 (A, AE, etc.) are red?
Maybe at some point but that would require a different data set. This map pulls data created by the state for locating gas stations in flood plains to assist with planning after disasters and mostly is posted here for casual use and exploration
Thanks a lot for sharing this, really helps!
