The North Carolina Floodplain Mapping Program (NCFMP) performs flood hazard mapping studies that help inform, protect, and preserve the lives and properties of the citizens in North Carolina. Recent flooding events have shown that substantial flood risk can reside outside of NCFMP’s traditional regulatory floodplain boundaries. NCFMP’s Advisory Flood Data Website provides flood mapping visualizations and flood risk analyses in non-regulated Advisory Flood areas where these products were previously unavailable.
