Where it can rain, it can flood. So, it is important to know your flood risk. The City, in cooperation with FEMA, have updated 9 linear miles of flood maps. Click on the Flood Zone Interactive Map to the right to see what your flood risk is now and how it may have changed from the current effective (2018) map. More information about the mapping project can be found here.
If you have a government-backed mortgage and your property is newly identified to be in a high-risk area (e.g., Zone A, AE), your lender will require flood insurance when the new maps become effective. FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program provides a one-time policy discount for properties newly identified as high-risk.
Even if you are not in a high-risk area, but in a moderate-low risk area (e.g., Zone X), you are still at risk of flooding and encouraged to carry flood insurance. The risk is reduced, but it is not removed. In fact, more than 30% of NFIP flood claims in Arizona come from policies in Zone X.
To learn more, talk to your insurance agent about the options and coverages that are right for you. You can also visit www.FloodSmart.gov for more information about flood insurance.
