Chatham County’s flood risk information has been revised, and updated flood hazard maps are ready for review.  The issued preliminary flood maps will replace outdated studies, some of which are more than 30 years old.  Revisions to these mapping products may affect residents and business owners in Chatham County, the City of Bloomingdale, the City of Garden City, the City of Pooler, the City of Port Wentworth, and the City of Savannah.

You can view the new preliminary maps to see how your flood risk may have changed, learn how they can affect building and flood insurance requirements and find out what your options are at a Virtual Flood Risk Open House.

Georgia’s Virtual Flood Risk Open House provides information relevant to the proposed changes in flood risks in your community, as well as an opportunity to connect with floodplain management experts from your local jurisdiction, the GA Department of Natural Resources, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). 

Meetings are available by appointment only and can be reserved on the website, via the “Connect with Us” page of the Virtual Flood Risk Open House (link above).

Appointments will be held between January 21, 2025 – January 31, 2025.

Please reserve your appointment between January 13, 2025 – January 17, 2025.
