A 500-year flood plain map is a tool that helps label areas at risk for getting 500 years' worth of rain. The chances of this happening are low, and because records only go back so far, it can be challenging to determine how much rain 500 years' worth is.


While the chances of getting 500 years' worth of rain are slim, we have seen the effects large storms have had on cities in the past. Studying these storms can help us prepare for the next one. One of the things we have learned from the weather is the importance of flood insurance. And with 30 years of flood experience, Holt Flood Insurance can help you with all of your flood insurance needs.


On the 500-year flood plain map, high-risk flood areas are more likely to see this amount of rain than those at a lower risk. High-risk areas are those marked with the letters A and V, while the lower risk areas are marked with B, C, and X. Homes in areas A and V must have flood insurance before a mortgage is taken out. Regardless of the level of flood risk, you should purchase flood insurance as it will save you thousands of dollars.
