The best way to search FEMA maps online is by visiting the FEMA map service center. You can find the map service center by visiting the FEMA website. You can type in an address, place, or latitude and longitude, and the map will tell you the flood risk level for that area. Flood insurance companies will use these maps to determine the cost of flood insurance.
Areas classified as high risk for flooding will pay more for flood insurance than those at a lower risk. It is also mandatory to purchase flood insurance in high-risk areas as mortgage companies will not release a loan until proof of flood insurance. Low to moderate risk areas are not required to have flood insurance. But it's recommended that you purchase flood insurance regardless of your flood risk.
The benefit of having FEMA maps online is that maps from previous years are available for viewing. Having a record of older maps can track flood patterns and help develop ways to reduce flooding. Communities can also help contribute to the flood maps by notifying FEMA of any changes in flooding.

We contacted Mr. Holt for an estimate via email over the weekend prior to a closing on a property, hoping for a response on the following Monday to take with us with confidence in being insured at the settlement table on a Tuesday. He exceeded our expectations not once but in readily responding to the initial request and then to follow-up questions all during the weekend frenzy that occurs before closing. "Impressive and responsive customer service," for sure! Ken Reuwer I have no problem giving you an A1 reference for taking care of the flood policies for me and Diane. I appreciate you working with the mortgage company: the surveyor and our previous agent. The result was a 75% reduction in our flood insurance premiums! Mike Edwards I have known Tim for many years and he is a man with great integrity, work ethic and one of the nicest persons I know. Over the years Tim has provided insurance counseling and advice to our company, for myself personally, as well as to our clients. Recently Tim, took time to analyze our flood insurance policy and he was able to make some excellent recommendations. Our flood insurance costs are now less and we have much better coverage. I recommend Tim to anyone without hesitation or reservation. Edward Semambya, CPA
