What is My Base Flood Elevation (BFE)? Address Lookup Tool

(Formerly What is My ABFE?)

The interactive 'What is My BFE?' tool below can help you compare the current effective and the best available flood hazard data for your property (See disclaimer below).  Get information for your property in three easy steps:

1.    Enter your address into the field below and click the “Get Details” button.
***Internet Explorer users: You must click 'No' if a security warning pop up window appears on your screen in order for the report to display correctly after clicking the "Get Details" button.*** 

2.    A “flag” (graphic) will be added to the map banner below indicating the location the tool will provide information at.  If the "flag" on the map is not directly on your house, click on the location of your house as shown on the map to reposition the flag. The report will be refreshed automatically with information for your actual location. 

3.    The data fields below the map banner will provide you with both the effective and the best available flood hazard data* for the address entered.

*FEMA is in the process of issuing preliminary work maps which supersede the Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) maps as the best available flood hazard data.  When available, the preliminary work maps will be the source of the updated flood hazard data provided in the What is My BFE? report.  If not yet available, ABFE data will be the source of the updated information listed in the report if released for the area.  View the Understanding Best Available Flood Hazard Data page for more information.
