a New Shoal Creek Floodplain Map is now available online.
Shoal Creek is one of several Austin creeks recently remapped by Austin’s Watershed Protection Department. The revised floodplain map for Shoal Creek has been submitted to FEMA and is expected to be approved in July 2015. If approved as expected, it will then be adopted by the City of Austin effective January 2016.
To see the preliminary revised map, go to www.atxfloods.com/FP_mods/Map.html
Just type in your address to see if your home is in the floodplain. You can also scroll up and down the map to follow the floodplain from Shoal Creek’s headwaters just north of 183 down to its juncture with the Colorado River.
