A new Hawaii Flood Hazard Assessment
Tool is now available to help homeowners locate and evaluate their
flood hazard risks based on FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Maps.
The tool
will help homeowners determine their level of flood risk and assist
them in determining if flood insurance or regulatory building
requirements apply to their property.
"This has been a goal of
the state to create a tool that will easily assist all property owners
and businesses to determine their flood hazard risks," said Carol
Tyau-Beam, the State's National Flood Insurance Program Coordinator.
Residents can
access this tool via the State of Hawaii National Flood Insurance
Program Web page by clicking on the Hawaii NFIP link. Once at the site, look for the Flood Hazard Assessment Tool button on the left.
To use the tool, enter your property tax map key number or property address.
You can view the flood zone information, the parcel map and aerial photo.
