FIRM for the Village of Saranac Lake

FIRM Panel Image: Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) are digital images of flood hazard maps. The images are digital pictures of entire flood map panels that can be viewed and printed from a computer. FIRM Panel Images are TIF or PNG image files and have file names with a Community or County ID followed by a 4-digital panel number and letter suffix representing a version (e.g. 12345C0123F.tif). 

FIRM Panel Images can be viewed using most freely available image viewer applications. You can also use the FIRMette-Desktop software available from the FEMA Flood Map Service Center (MSC) website at msc.fema.gov/portal/resources/firmettes. FIRM images can also be viewed in specialized GIS software where the worldfiles are used to make the images compatiable with other GIS data. See the MSC Products and Tools Overview page for more information on avialable data and tools for using FEMA’s flood risk data.
