Flood map for Norfolk, Virginia

Norfolk flood map and elevation view

Use this Norfolk, Virginia flood map to inspect the Elizabeth River, Hampton Roads shoreline, and low waterside districts. The page opens directly on Norfolk instead of making you pan from the national view.

What you can do

• Open a Norfolk-centered map instead of manually panning across the U.S.
• Compare elevation and flood scenarios around the Elizabeth River, Hampton Roads shoreline, and low waterside districts.
• Start with a 3.0m flood setup, then adjust the slider for milder or more extreme water levels.
• Copy a permalink for the exact Norfolk scenario you want to share.

How to use it

1. Start with the default Norfolk map view and pan toward the shoreline, river, or neighborhood you care about.
2. Use flood mode for scenario testing, or switch to elevation mode to inspect terrain and relative height differences.
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

Norfolk's flood picture changes between naval, waterfront, and inland areas because the metro sits close to tidal water on multiple sides. FloodMap USA is a screening tool for exploration and comparison, not a substitute for surveys, FEMA products, insurance decisions, or emergency instructions.
