FEMA Flood Maps Miss Rainfall Risk: Are You Truly Safe?

Learn why FEMA flood maps may not show your true flood risk. Discover how rainfall-driven flooding affects waterfront properties and what you can do to protect your home.

This news matters because many waterfront property owners have a false sense of security from FEMA flood maps that ignore rainfall-driven flooding. As seen with Hurricane Harvey, relying solely on FEMA maps can lead to devastating financial losses and uninsured damage. Understanding your full flood risk, including pluvial flooding, can save you from unexpected costs and help you make informed decisions about insurance and property improvements. With climate change increasing extreme rainfall events, this knowledge is becoming essential for protecting your home and investment.
