[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look at federal flood maps, they’ll explain everything.

It’s probably based on probability and your neighbors may be on one side of a line that says 51 out of 100 times their house is okay and your is on the side that says 51 out of 100 it’s not - basically the same risk but you’re on the wrong side of the line.

Either way, there’s no way you can tell if something is right or wrong without looking at federal flood maps. It’s not a thing you can feel. [/quote]

Federal flood maps have not been updated and are outdated, which is a big problem with erosion, climate change, and better forecasting capabilities.

The First Street assessment should provide you with information about this risk as it relates to your property, OP.[/quote]

But to be clear, when we talk about federal maps being out-of-date, we're not talking about how maybe things have gotten better... assume your situation is worse than what the map shows. Best case it might be the same. [/quote]
