It is important to note that with the new digital map format, FEMA is moving towards digital distribution.  Beginning with flood maps distributed on or after October 1, 2009, FEMA will provide a single paper map and Flood Insurance Study (FIS) to each community when their maps are updated and will convert all other distribution of maps and FIS reports to digital delivery.

The Floodplain Management Program will maintain both paper and digital copies of all Rhode Island FIRMs and can assist you in obtaining flood hazard information.
