What is a Flood Risk Zone?

7/19/2022 (Permalink)

Do you know if your home is in a flood risk zone? According to FEMA, a flood zone is defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1% chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. There are three different risk zones, High, Moderate, and Minimal.

If you are not sure if your house is located in a flood risk zone, FEMA has resources available to check by address, place, or longitude/latitude coordinates here.

Water can be extremely destructive to a home or business. It is important to prepare and understand insurance costs associated with these types of properties, especially flood insurance since conventional home insurance typically does not cover damages caused by a flood.
