The Engineering Division is charged with regulating the City of Morgantown’s floodplain areas. The flood plain is defined as any area delinated on the Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) as a 1% flood area, more commonly known as the “100 year floodplain”.

To find out if your property is in the floodplain visit www.mapwv.gov/flood. If the red shaded area crosses any part of your property, that property is subject to the City of Morgantown’s Floodplain Ordinance.
