MAP MODERNIZATION
FEMA’s overall vision is to create “A Nation Prepared.” To support this vision, FEMA has embarked on an aggressive 5-year initiative to update the Nation’s flood hazard maps. Infused with funds provided by the President and Congress, FEMA is transforming the way flood maps are created and accessed. FEMA’s vision for Flood Map Modernization (Map Mod) entails providing flood maps and data for communities nationwide that are more reliable, easier-to-use, and readily available.
77%
of the effective
flood map panels for communities in New Mexico are over 10
years old. There are 21 unmapped communities
in the state.
