What FloodMap.net Does
Details
Overview
FloodMap.net provides a simple, free, browser-based tool for visualising which land areas fall below a chosen elevation threshold. By adjusting a sea level slider users can instantly see which coastal and low-lying urban areas would be inundated under different sea level rise scenarios — a powerful communication tool for public engagement and initial site assessment.
Key Features
- Interactive map: Zoom to any city or address and see flood-prone zones colour-coded by elevation
- Scenario slider: Explore sea level rise from 1 m to 10 m above current sea level
- Global coverage: Based on SRTM and other open digital elevation models
- Shareable: Generate a link or embed code for presentations and reports
Who Is It For?
Community groups, journalists, elected officials and planners who need a quick, no-login visualisation of sea level rise impacts. Not a substitute for high-resolution flood modelling but ideal for awareness-raising.
Getting Started
Navigate to floodmap.net, search for your city, and use the water level slider to explore scenarios. No account required.
