As part of their continuing effort to provide the best available information to localities and the public on areas which may be impacted by flooding, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has recently completed a multi-year project to re-examine Goochland County’s floodplain maps. The new maps, known as Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), have been released for public view. Please be aware these maps are still preliminary and show an early look at your property’s projected flood risk. If your property is affected by these changes, you will receive a letter from Goochland County that includes who to contact if you would like additional information.
