Siuslaw Watershed FEMA Floodplain Mapping Project

Munsel Creek Map

This page provides a summary of recent progress and upcoming steps for FEMA’s Risk Mapping, Assessment, and Planning (Risk MAP) project for the Siuslaw Watershed in Lane County, Oregon.

Project Overview

The Siuslaw Watershed was selected as a priority area for flood risk updates through FEMA’s Risk MAP program, based on local hazard risks and community interest.

This effort began in 2019 with a Base Level Engineering (BLE) analysis and continues through a series of meetings and map refinements, including recent updates to flood mapping for Munsel Creek.
