Flooding: 100-Year Storm Flood Risk Zone (Stormwater)
This property is within the Flood Risk Zone and is within a flood elevation zone of 8ft. A flood elevation is the height (rounded up to the nearest foot) above San Francisco City Datum (SFCD) that stormwater flooding is likely to reach during a 100-year storm (not the depth of flooding above existing ground level). A flood elevation zone refers to a zone, or area, with a single, uniform flood elevation (parcels may have multiple flood elevations and hence contain multiple flood elevation zones).
Properties located within this zone are highly likely to experience flooding from stormwater runoff during a 100-year storm (a storm that has a 1% chance of happening in a given year). Owners of these properties are required to disclose this flood risk at point-of-sale and in new leases. Read more about this regulation and find the ordinance here or contact rainreadysf@sfwater.org / (415) 695-7326For more information on the flood elevation zones and appropriate use, please see the Flood Map FAQ .
Added: December 2024
Flooding: FEMA FIRM Flood Hazards (Coastal)
This location does not fall within a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) pursuant to the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s (FEMA’s) Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM). Read more about the City’s Floodplain Management Program and the Floodplain Management ordinance or contact the City Administrator’s Office at floodplainadminister@sfgov.org.
More DetailsAREA OF LOW OR MINIMAL FLOOD RISK
This location has an area of Low or Minimal Flood Risk - Flood Zone: X Unshaded
"Shaded" Zone X represents areas of moderate or low flood risk – these areas are subject to inundation during a flood having a 0.2-percent-annual-chance of occurrence, or during the 1-percent-annual-chance flood with depth less than 1 foot. "Unshaded" Zone X represents areas of minimal flood risk or areas that FEMA did not study or map. For San Francisco, FEMA did not study or map inland areas where stormwater flooding occurs during heavy rains. Flood insurance purchase requirements do not apply in these areas, but flood insurance may be purchased at reduced cost.
Flooding: Sea Level Rise
This location does not fall within the Sea Level Rise Vulnerability Zone, pursuant to end-of-century projections utilized by the City and County of San Francisco for Capital Planning Guidance (CPC Guidance). To learn more about the City’s sea level rise adaptation programs, please visit: https://sfplanning.org/sea-level-rise-action-plan
