Illinois floodplain maps are now updated.

Illinois' paper floodplain maps, used for regulatory and flood insurance purposes as well as identifying sensitive riparian corridors, are called Flood Insurance Rate Maps, or FIRMs.

These FIRMS have recently been updated using the latest geographic information system (GIS) technology. Find the maps at www.illinoisfloodmaps.org.
