flood data
Posted On: September 6, 2020

Collecting flood data is the best way to develop safety and preventative matters for areas prone to flooding. It also helps determine flood insurance costs for those areas. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) is responsible for collecting and storing this data, which is then shared with FEMA and the NFIP.


The price of flood insurance depends on the flood risk for the area and the type of flood insurance. For example, areas at high risk for flooding will pay more for flood insurance than those in low to moderate areas. And if you rent your home, you will only need to pay for content insurance. At Holt Flood Insurance, we can help you find flood insurance costs for your home or business.


After flood data is collected, this information is then entered and used to create flood maps that help determine the flood risk level for each area. Flood maps use the letters A and V for high-risk areas and B, C, and X for low to moderate risk areas. Properties in areas A and V must have flood insurance before banks give a mortgage. You can purchase flood insurance through an insurance agency or the NFIP.
