New versions of this application are available through FEMA's Map Service Center (MSC) at http://msc.fema.gov. Look for the link to the Google Earth applications (there now are two) under the heading "National Flood Hazard Layer" or "NFHL."

For those of you who have been using version 1 of the "FEMA NFHL" application and have been experiencing the "big red 'X'", please accept our apologies. We inadvertently broke the application while updating a supporting service.

We anticipate fixing the underlying service in the next few weeks. In the meantime, consider upgrading to version 2.1 of the application (available through the MSC at http://msc.fema.gov) or turning off the floodways layer to remove the "big red 'X'".
