Floodplain Administration and Mapping
Portions of the City of Fortuna are within the FEMA 100- and 500-year regulatory floodplain due to the City’s proximity to Rohner, Strongs, and Mill Creek. To determine if your property is within the regulatory floodplain or floodway, please use the link below which is to the FEMA's floodplain map and data viewer, searchable by address:

As part of the multi-stage Rohner and Hillside Creek Flood Control Project, the City of Fortuna recently completed a Letter of Map Revision (LOMR) with FEMA to remap the majority of the regulatory floodplain for Rohner and Hillside creeks within the City, bound between 12th Street and Rohnerville Road. This revision is now currently reflected in the mapping and data available on the FEMA website. As a result of the map revision, many of the properties in the City were removed from the regulatory floodplain. To view maps of how the floodplain has changed as a result of the project, please download them at the link below:

Included in the letter are additional resources on the National Flood Insurance Program, and information on what a change in the floodplain means for your affected property.
