Flood map coverage in Kansas

FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer holds 2,900 FIRM panels for Kansas from 60 digital flood map databases, reaching 60 of its 105 counties. Computed September 29, 2026.

What to expect from lookups here

• 45 counties have no digital FIRM in the NFHL (listed below). Points there come back "mapped": false.
• The map that has gone longest without a new panel is Edwards County (20047C), last revised 2008-01-16.
• 11 panels carry a placeholder effective date in FEMA's data; for points on those panels firm_panel.effective_date is null.
