Road Closure This Locality Road Flood Tool shows how flood frequency will impact travel to a particular road from the County Seat under different flood levels. Find out if some portion of your road network will be flooded. (This tool was built to be used on a desktop computer, it will not work correctly on a cell-phone)

See the summary directions below, or for more help step-by-step instructions (pdf with pictures):

Go to Locality Road Flood Tool
At the top of the page click on your area (for example Middle Peninsula).
Zoom into your area of interest.
If the road is pink, that tells you that some part of the road goes underwater whenever there is 2-3 feet of flooding. If the road is yellow, orange or red, it only floods during more extreme flood events.
