New FEMA Floodplain Maps

Your Insurance Could Change!

FEMA is working with the state of Washington, Klickitat County, and local communities to use new data and technology to update your Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM). The new map will better represent the risk of flooding and help you make informed decisions about how to protect yourself against damage and loss.

At this time, the updated flood map is “preliminary.” Review them below. This means that it is in draft form and open for public review and input. Once FEMA addresses all comments and appeals on the map and your community adopts it, the new FIRM will go into effect.

You can request a detailed Property ID Map specific to your property address below.

An online map viewer of this study work can also be viewed at: Preliminary Assessment | Klickitat County, Washington – Risk MAP Portfolio (arcgis.com). This map will show if your property designation may change under the new assessment.
