How To Find Your Flood Zone

Understanding your property’s flood risk is essential for design, construction, insurance, and safety planning. Fortunately, identifying your flood zone is straightforward.

Step 1: Use FEMA’s Flood Map Service

Visit the FEMA Flood Map Service Portal.
By entering your address or GPS coordinates, you can quickly access the official FEMA flood map for your property.

Step 2: Review the Flood Risk Maps

The system provides detailed maps organized by city, jurisdiction, and region.
These maps give you a clear overview of the flood risks in your area.

Step 3: Pinpoint Your Exact Location

Zoom in on your specific address to see your property’s flood zone designation.
This step provides the critical information required for permitting, insurance, and compliance purposes.
