[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone have links to flood zones for the Houston metropolitan areas that are less complex than fema?    https://snmapmod.snco.us/fmm/document/fema-flood-zone-definitions.pdf  Flood insurance policy -zone x least risk- building 250,000 deductible 1250,  contents 100,000 deductible 1250.  Annual premium $675.  I wonder what is charged in other zones.

We once looked at real estate in an area that had flood retention ponds, marshes, gates for spillways and various flood insurance rates.  1 block over from the spillway was stuff in X.   Flat land.  The same rate.   I guess think of it as a very mini-Houston area.   So this article in the Washington Post quotes people [and there are also comments] how they never thought their neighborhood would flood.   https://www.washingtonpost.com/national/we-never-thought-this-area-would-flood-neighbors-races-to-evacuate-as-houston-reservoirs-spill-over/2017/08/29/8a6a6f40-8cef-11e7-8df5-c2e5cf46c1e2_story.html?hpid=hp_rhp-top-table-main_harveyreservoir-8pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory&utm_term=.0bd82b3e3ead#comments

So should the Federal Government allow rebuilding in the same locations?  Should rebuilding be done only on areas that did not flood and in denser housing?
