FYI, this will affect flood insurance rates all over the state. I thinking of getting flood insurance now to avoid the rush and the possible extra cost..........

Digital Preliminary Flood Maps for Brevard County Ready for Public Viewing

Cocoa Beach residents mark your calendar for March 15 at the Cocoa Beach Country Club- 4:00pm-7:00pm.


The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has completed its restudy for coastal Brevard County and released preliminary Flood Insurance Rate maps.

New storm surge modeling will result in changes to flood zone areas on the Barrier Island and Merritt Island. Some areas will have revised flood elevations, which will impact annual flood insurance premiums, both positively and negatively. Some areas not currently in flood zones (Special Flood Hazard Areas) will change and be included, which will then require mandatory flood insurance for a mortgage.

The public is invited to view and comment on the preliminary maps and data by attending one of the upcoming FEMA Open House meetings:
.Tuesday, March 13, from 4-7 p.m., Space Coast Room, 2nd Floor, Building C, Brevard County Government Center

.Thursday, March 15, from 4-7 p.m., Cocoa Beach Country Club

Find out whether your property is impacted, how a change may affect you, how securing flood insurance coverage before a change can save you money, and how to appeal a change either before or after the fact. FEMA staff will be available for questions and information on these and other topics of interest.

Go here:  https://msc.fema.gov/portal and enter your address

to get the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) number for your location

before you go to the new map site, above.

It's the number on that starts with 1200.

Mine didn't change much in Mel. Beach.  

We are still low

yes, I carry flood insurance

Thanks for the help Tom. I was trying to find which map by which title was for my area. Leave it to the Government to make it as cumbersome as possible....
