Exclusive: FEMA floodmaps underestimate flood risk by over 200K, new study shows
In Harris County, the number of properties facing 100-year-level flood risk may be more than twice as large as FEMA’s current maps suggest, according to a Texas A&M University study.

Lots of places don't have FEMA floodmaps, and for those that have them, they "don’t account for flooding caused strictly from increasingly heavy rainfall that overwhelms stormwater infrastructure in urban areas and inundates rural towns where there's nowhere for the water to go."
Michigan floods expose lack of information, preparation in many rural areas
Across Michigan, thousands were left without financial protection after record April rains fell on top of record March snowfall.

We looked at the floodmaps of Cardiff when considering where to buy. We ruled out whole swathes of the city as a result.

As I recall, we actually did when we bought the place we live now, though geology isn't much of an issue here. Floodmaps much more so with impending global warming-driven changes.

Weird question: if/when you're looking at places to live, either buy or rent, would you examine the geology and floodmaps?

FEMA said this about their own flood maps: ""They are not predictions of where it will flood, and they don't show where it has flooded before."
What do they show then because that is some specious gaslighting?

There’s letter of map amendments and revisions. Revisions are when your property is located in the floodplain but is high enough to not be considered at risk of flooding. Amendments take engineers doing hydrology studies to officially change the federal floodmaps.

Or shorter: if the ocean was 7m higher during the Eemian, how far into the Amazon basin did the Atlantic reach? Floodmaps suggests lots (in terms of how far inland the intrusion got) and not much (in terms of area inundated).

Trenton is JUST at the tip of the Delaware River estuary which means it still gets fucked by tidal flooding. I bought a house a few miles upriver and I obsessed over floodmaps making sure the hurricanes/sea level rise wouldn't wipe me out.

Die Floodmaps führen leider zu einer Verharmlosung der Auswirkungen des Klimawandels, weil viele draufgucken, mit den Schultern zucken und denken "Mein Häuschen ist ja nicht betroffen". Was, wie wir im Ahrtal und aktuell im Saarland und Teilen Bayerns sehen Unfug ist. Die Flut kommt auch zu Euch!
