Flood toy for Birmingham, Alabama

Birmingham flood toy and water map

Use this Birmingham, Alabama flood toy to inspect Village Creek, Valley Creek, Five Mile Creek, and low ground around the Red Mountain valley. The page opens directly on Birmingham instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Birmingham-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around Village Creek, Valley Creek, Five Mile Creek, and low ground around the Red Mountain valley.
• Start with a 10.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Birmingham scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Birmingham map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use the slider to raise the water and compare milder or more extreme scenarios.
3. Click a specific point on the map for a location-based risk sample, then copy the permalink if you want the same view later.

Model notes

Birmingham is the inland demo for Flood Toy mode: hills, creek corridors, rail valleys, and downtown low ground make the water movement visible without needing a coastline. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
