This number distinguishes each Panel from others in the same community; each page is given a unique Panel number. On FHBM, the Panel number is a two-digit number. On FBFM/FIRM the Panel number is a four-digit number.

Panel Number/Community – Panel Number/Map Number

Different types of numbers appear on flood map title boxes prepared in different formats. Each type of number identifies the Panel that covers an indicated portion of the community.

On FIRM title boxes, the first set of numbers identifies the community or countywide ID number. The second set of numbers identifies the Panel number. The trailing letter after the panel number corresponds to the number of map revisions.

On Indexes, the second set of numbers corresponds to the range of printed Panels.

The entire 11-digit code for each Panel is required to identify a Map Panel. The Panel number includes the 6-digit CID or the 5 digit CWID followed by the letter "C" and the Panel number, as well as a letter suffix (which indicates the map revision number).
