Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) illustrate flood hazards throughout communities in Miami-Dade County and are an important resource in preparing properties and businesses for flood-related disasters. 

FIRMs are used to rate flood insurance policies, to set safe elevations for new construction and substantial improvements to existing buildings and to describe potential flood hazards by location.

Miami-Dade County has worked with the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the South Florida Water Management District to ensure that the new FIRM's represent accurate flood risks for our residents.  Part of this process includes opportunities for the public and businesses to review the maps and voice any comments they may have.

Starting March 4, 2008, the public will have a ninety (90) day period to submit appeals before the new maps are officially adopted.
