Update notice (3/19/2012) - FEMA has published the final DFIRMS from the Map Modernization Process which will become effective on May 16, 2012. The City of Bryan, the City of College Station, and Brazos County wanted to provide notice about the upcoming effective date and give you opportunity to review the maps before they become effective.

Note the “grandfather” floodplain insurance provision for owners whose premiums are increasing as a result of the map changes still applies up until May 16, 2012. Under the “grandfather” provision, if you purchase flood insurance before the May 16, 2012 deadline your insurance rate can be locked in for 3 years from your policy date at the existing or preferred lowered risk category.

Please be aware that floodplain information is not permanent. As more accurate information becomes available, these maps are updated through official procedures with FEMA. In the future, this site will be expanded to include those areas where studies have been prepared for potential updates, giving you the most current information practical. As with any floodplain related issue, the Floodplain Administrator for your area will have the best available information and can discuss your specific situation in more detail with you.
Areas currently under review by FEMA include:

Carter's Creek

Bee Creek
