When the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) launched the 100-Year Storm Flood Risk Map in 2018, the goal was to inform San Francisco property owners and tenants about stormwater flood risk so they can take actions to protect their property and belongings. The next step was a 2019 ordinance requiring sellers and landlords to disclose if a property lies in the Flood Map’s risk zone. Now we’ve added a new layer of data called flood elevations to the Map. Here’s why we’re providing the data and how it helps make San Francisco a more flood-resilient city.
