Posted On: September 10, 2020

Using a flood zone lookup is a way to tell if your area is at risk for flooding and at what level. And FEMA has created a tool that makes it easy to do so. The Flood Map Service Center shows essential details such as flood zones, floodways, and flood risk levels.


The flood map can also show levees, coastal barriers, and base flood lines. To use this map, all you have to do is type in your address in the search bar, and the information you need will show up. Some of the details you may see are how flood zones are labeled. Flood maps use the letters A, B, C, D, V, and X to indicate the level of risk for the areas. Areas marked with the letter V are at the highest risk for flooding.


Flood insurance companies will use a flood zone lookup to determine the cost of flood insurance. Areas A and V are at the most risk for flooding and will pay more for flood insurance. Those who own properties in areas B, C, and X will pay less for flood insurance as their flood risk is minimal. Zone D areas have a possible risk of flooding, but the level is uncertain.
