Mat-Su Flood Maps Are On The Borough Web Site

Gone are the days when we have to traipse down to the borough building in Palmer to have someone pull up a FEMA flood map for us to see if a property is in the flood zone. Now they are on the web.

Go to the Mat-Su Borough website and choose the map you need. Well, it’s not quite that easy, you need to click on link that takes you to the overview map of the borough to find the code for the right one. But still, it’s easier than making a special trip to the borough.

It’s important to know if your property is in the flood plain. For one the borough has special regulations for those properties, and more importantly, you need to know the risk of a possible flood. Let me know if you need any help navigating the flood plane issues in the borough, they are sometimes a little complicated.
