The City of Phoenix adopted FEMA’s Flood Insurance Rate Map panels, or FIRM Panels, in April of 1982. These maps  are periodically revised by FEMA and adopted by the City of Phoenix. This provides the basis for determining if a property is within the Special Flood Hazard Area, what type of hazard area, and to determine what development regulations apply.  FIRM panels can be accessed using the FEMA Flood Map Service Center to create property specific FIRMettes or by downloading the individual panels using the links below.
