Map Service Center -- Search Options

Navigate to the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC), available at https://msc.fema.gov.

To locate the flood map for a specific property or community, enter one of the following in the Search field (number 1 in image):

  • Street address, or
  • Place name such as city, town, county and state, or
  • Longitude and latitude coordinates; decimal format must be used (e.g., -96.64908, 41.29299)

Note: When using coordinates, order matters - you must enter longitude first, and then the latitude.

If you are looking for more than a current flood map, select the “Search All Products” link (number 2 in image).

Search All Products is covered later in this lesson.
