  • Floodplain Info Sheet

    Scranton, PA
    Other

    The City of Scranton participates in FEMA's National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and provides property owners access to federal flood insurance to protect against losses from flooding. The city uses FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) to identify Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA)—land with a 1-percent chance of flooding in any given year—and mortgage lenders are required to mandate flood insurance for structures located within these designated areas. All construction in designated SFHAs must comply with the City of Scranton Floodplain Ordinance. Property owners located near but potentially outside the SFHA boundaries may request a Letter of Map Amendment (LOMA) if survey work and analysis demonstrate the structure is outside floodplain limits. Residents can contact the City Planner at dking@scrantonpa.gov or 570-348-4280 for questions about the FIRM map.
