From the Missoulian: "Missoula and Flathead will be the first two Montana counties to have their Flood Insurance Rate Maps digitalized.
"It's part of a five-year, $1 billion program by the Federal Emergency Management Agency to modernize floodplain maps in every county in the country."
For more information, visit the FEMA Flood Hazard Mapping program website. The site includes information on modernization efforts, information for homeowners, and much more.
The Montana Flood Map Modernization Program can also provide useful information. Floodplain management information is available via the Water Resources Division of the Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC). Some floodplain maps are available online via the Natural Resource Information System (NRIS).
