In the unfortunate case of a flood, you will want to know how high the flood waters are and which areas are above that level. Only then can you make a wise and calculated evacuation plan. Here to help you with this is an immensely useful tool called Flood Map.

Flood Map is a free to use web app that helps determine which areas will be underwater once a flood strikes. The app works in a very simple manner. It lets you specify the elevation of the flood water levels and then it matches it with the elevation of terrains in various areas. A map of your location, judged by your IP address, is loaded up automatically but you can change the map to another location if you want.

Then simply enter a water height level in meters and watch the map change its colors; regions covered in blue will have a land elevation level less than the water level you specified. A direct link for your map will also be generated which simplifies sharing the results.

Features:

• A user-friendly web app.
• Helps find out which areas will be affected by floods.
• Factors in elevation of flood waters.
• Factors in elevation of land.
• Similar tools: GlobalFloodMap and AlertMap.
