Flood toy for San Francisco, California

San Francisco flood toy and water map

Use this San Francisco, California flood toy to inspect the Bay shoreline, Mission Creek, and low waterfront zones around downtown and SoMa. The page opens directly on San Francisco instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a San Francisco-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Watch animated water fill low ground around the Bay shoreline, Mission Creek, and low waterfront zones around downtown and SoMa.
• Start with a 3.0m setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact San Francisco scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default San Francisco 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

San Francisco mixes steep terrain with vulnerable waterfront edges, so a city-centered flood view helps separate bluff areas from exposed shoreline. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
