The Arkansas GIS Office is pleased to announce that we have published an update to the Flood Hazard Zone Polygon dataset. This update includes the addition of Craighead County, newly available from FEMA’s National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL).

These polygons represent FEMA-designated flood hazard areas and are a critical resource for planning, development, emergency management, and floodplain administration.

The statewide layer can be accessed through the Arkansas Spatial Data Infrastructure (ASDI) here:

We extend our thanks to FEMA for making this data available, and to the staff who maintain and integrate these updates to support statewide mapping and decision-making.
