Question:
| How can I determine if my property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area? |
Answer:
| FEMA publishes maps indicating a community's flood hazard areas and the degree of risk in those areas. Flood insurance maps usually are on file in a local repository in the community, such as the planning and zoning or engineering offices in the town hall or the county building. A property owner may consult these maps to find out if the property is in a special flood hazard area (SFHA). In addition, maps may be ordered online or by writing, phoning, or faxing a request to the FEMA Map Service Center. Contact information is listed in the National Flood Insurance Program General Program Information. Delivery is usually within 2 to 4 weeks. There is a minimal charge for maps for most users, so it is advisable to call for detailed information. |
