If your site is located in a community that is in the National Flood Insurance Program, there may be elevation data on the FEMA web site. A map may be obtained from one of the following sources:

• Call FEMA at 1-800-358-9616 or go to the FEMA Flood Map Store and search the catalog for the community where your site is located.
• Contact your local community offices.  The local planning/zoning office or building department should have copies of their community's floodplain maps.

If you cannot find an elevation for your site, please fill in all fields in the form below then click the Submit button. You can move to successive fields using the tab key. Please fully describe the location so we can find it on a map, using road intersections, Section/Town/Range information, etc. DO NOT simply give a street address for the site - we cannot locate sites with just an address.

We may only be able to determine a conservatively approximate elevation, depending on how much data and information we have for a particular stream. If this is the case, you may want to refine the estimate by hiring a consultant to determine a more exact elevation.

You MUST also submit a site location map. If you have a digital location map or link to a map, please send an email to menereyb@mi.gov with the map attached. Otherwise, please fax the map to 517-241-0275. Please include the county where the site is and your name and telephone number in the email's subject line or on the fax so we can pair your map with the correct floodplain request.

Please allow up to 60-90 days for a response.
