Flood Zone

National Flood Zones are determined and mapped by FEMA. These maps can be used by homeowners and insurance agents to determine if you are in a flood zone and at what risk. Your insurance policy and premiums can be effected by the Flood Map.
Just because your not in a high risk zone or you have not experienced a flood does not mean that you will not. Flood risk are determined my many factors. Rainfall, tidal surge, river flow and even new building in developments. They ever changing landscape can effect water flow.
The lower in degree your flood risk however will mean a lower premium in flood insurance. Flood insurance is low cost and well worth the paper it is written on!
