Flood risks in El Paso change over time because of new building and development, weather patterns, and other factors. El Paso is in FEMA’s Region 6, which works with international, federal, state, tribal, and local partners across the region to identify flood risk and to promote informed planning and development practices to help reduce that risk. This work is done through FEMA’s Risk Mapping, Assessment and Planning (Risk MAP) program. Updating flood hazard maps and the Flood Insurance Study is a multi-year effort that involves several phases.
One phase involves
delivering preliminary flood maps to the communities involved, for their review
and comments. Sometimes, a Flood Risk Open House is held, with stations for
residents and business owners to learn more about how their flood risk may have
changed, possible impacts on flood insurance requirements and costs, and what to
do if they disagree with the preliminary maps. At the stations, attendees can
also meet one-on-one with a mapping or insurance specialist or a local or FEMA
representative. We
have also created an online version you can “visit.” At each station, visitors
can learn more about the new maps and the flood study.
Each of the five links below is a “station” for you to visit. We recommend that you start with Identify Your Flood Risk.
