The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) produces and continuously updates flood hazard data in support of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). In December of 2008, FEMA adopted new digital Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) and an updated Flood Insurance Study (FIS) Report for much of the southern portion of Sutter County (Unincorporated Areas). FEMA is still in the process of preparing new FIRMs for all of Sutter County; draft copies of the new FIRMs and FIS are anticipated in Spring or Summer of 2010. The most current FIS along with the related FIRMs can be found below.
