Preliminary flood risk information and updated Flood Insurance Rate Maps are available for review by residents and business owners in affected communities in Hartford County, Connecticut. Residents and business owners are encouraged to review the latest information to learn about local flood risks and potential future flood insurance requirements.
The updated maps were produced in coordination with local, state and FEMA officials. Significant community review of the maps has already taken place.

Residents may submit an appeal if they think modeling or data used to create the map is technically or scientifically incorrect.
An appeal must include technical information, such as hydraulic or hydrologic data, to support the claim.
