Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find out if my house is in a flood zone?

Enter your street address in the search box above. We query FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer in real time and return your flood zone designation, risk level, and whether flood insurance is required.

Is this data official?

Yes. We query the same FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer (NFHL) database that powers FEMA's own flood map tools. Data is updated as FEMA publishes new flood maps.

Do I need flood insurance?

If your property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (zones starting with A or V), flood insurance is required for federally backed mortgages. Even in low-risk zones, over 20% of flood claims come from outside high-risk areas.
