JC | How to determine if a house is located in a flood zone? |
|

There are flood plain maps for the entire company. Any insurance company or mortgage lender can tell you if your home is in a flood plain. You can also buy them from FEMA and other places.
Those are the 100 year flood plains, by the way. If your home is located in one, you'll have to get Federal Flood Insurance before a lender will commit to a loan. In many parts of the country, you won't be allowed to build in a 100 year flood plain and in some you won't be allowed to re-build in one either after a flood hits.
Just because you're not in a 100 year flood plain does NOT mean you will never see a flood. It just means that you will not be forced to buy flood insuance by your lender.
And living 1,000 feet MSL and far from any rivers, lakes, streams or other water sources doesn't mean you can't be flooded either! An early snow melt can generate enough runoff to cause flooding conditions in any mountain region, even outside a 1,000 year flood plain. Even in those places, if you don't have flood insurance, you're NOT covered! |

You can purchase updated floodplain maps directly from FEMA at http://www.fema.gov.
You can also contact your insurance company or county surveyor for info. |

if your house is bellow sea level and you might want to see if it was ever flooded before |

Thats an easy one.
1) Flood water has difficulty going above sea level unless it is coming down from mountains or out from a bursting bank.
Contact you flood-line.
Google Earth will show what altitude your at.
Although flood water can accumilated in hollows or from flooded drian and so on.
You can't be completily sure.
But if your 1,000 feet up on a mountian and there is no rivers, lakes or hollows, you will not get flooded.
