County's New Flood Maps
Sussex County’s new, preliminary flood map is part of an update of the
country’s flood maps for 92% of the population. The digital technology
allows for simultaneous layers of data, providing residents and local and
state government the ability to more accurately assess a property’s risk
for flooding. The new maps, based on revised hydrologic and hydraulic studies
of the Delaware River completed in June 2009, will replace maps for Sussex
County communities that date back to the 1970s and 1980s. Maps are online
