Landing page captured for the 2026-09-30 issue.
For
County and town officials, hazard-mitigation planners, and residents checking local plan status
Worth noticing
Its release lists 3,488 packets: 3,232 county areas and 256 Vermont towns; only 32 are marked hand-checked.

Field notes

The release labels its status data as of 2026-09-30 and Storm Events data through 2026-06-30. It defines “county area” broadly to include parishes, boroughs, Virginia independent cities, Connecticut planning regions, and equivalents; Vermont towns receive separate packets. The page also distinguishes plan expiration from absence in FEMA data, and notes that a FEMA-approved plan may still await local adoption before eligibility.
