Welcome to the official site for FEMA's Great Lakes Coastal Flood Study, the comprehensive storm and wind study of the Great Lakes basin for the purpose of updating the coastal flood hazard information and Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) for Great Lakes coastal communities. Below you’ll find a list of the most recent meetings with their agendas, links to preliminary maps, and presentations. To the left you’ll find additional Great Lakes Coastal Flood Study content.
FEMA created this self-guided tutorial on coastal flood mapping that provides important information to coastal communities and their residents. FEMA’s “Coastal Hazards and Coastal Mapping: A Visual Guide” is a glossary of coastal mapping terms and a companion to the tutorial.

Flood Risk Review meetings held in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan for Lake Superior:
Minnesota
Wisconsin
Michigan
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) conducts scoping meetings to determine the riverine flood mapping update needs. These efforts are combined with the lake-wide coastal flood hazard mapping effort with the outcomes constituting the first basin-wide update of water-level statistics and flood hazard data compiled by the United States government for the Great Lakes in 25 years.
Under these riverine scoping efforts, a key phase in this study process is FEMA’s consultation with local communities through the conduct of a scoping meeting and the collection of data. FEMA uses these scoping meetings and follow-up conversation to collect information that will contribute to a better understanding of local flood risk conditions. A second purpose of this outreach is to provide a venue for sharing information related to study methodology and schedules.

Now available on the Digital Coast – 900 linear kilometers of bathymetric lidar for Lake Superior!
Using funding from the EPA Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, NOAA Coastal Services Center worked with regional stakeholders, including state agencies, federal agencies, regional working groups, international management bodies, and tribes, to determine the priority areas for collection. The data set was contracted for collection by FUGRO LADS, and excellent communication between CSC and the contractor maximized the quality of the end product. This data set will be critical to the success of many restoration projects, modeling of lake level change, and any analysis that requires a seamless elevation surface above and below the water.
To access the data set, visit http://csc-s-maps-q.csc.noaa.gov/dataviewer/viewer.html?keyword=lidar or, for more information, contact Lindy Betzhold.
