Q: Is My House in a Flood Zone?

A: It's important to know whether your house is in a flood zone. If it is, and it's a high-risk area, you're required to purchase flood insurance. Even if you're in a moderate or low-risk area, you may want to purchase flood insurance (just in case).

The easiest way to figure out whether your house is in a flood zone is by using a convenient online map. If you type in your address, the map will indicate which zone you're in and the risk level. This will help you determine whether insurance is required and what kind of coverage you might need. If you're unsure about what you need, your TrustedChoice.com independent insurance agent can help.
