RemoveFloodInsurance.com Checks Whether the Map Has the Last Word
A free address lookup and evidence-report service compares FEMA flood-zone records with USGS LiDAR elevation data.
Field notes
The service organizes its evidence around the effective FEMA panel, the governing Base Flood Elevation, and USGS 3DEP LiDAR measurements near the building perimeter. Its sample record includes panel 06081C0158F, a 9.0-foot NAVD88 Base Flood Elevation, an 11.4-foot lowest-ground reading, and eight recorded LOMAs within 500 feet. The homepage reports a nine-county study of more than 217,000 parcels and says 1 in 29 cleared its two-foot screening bar, while noting that certified surveyor elevations remain necessary for formal FEMA action.
