How the lookup works
Each point is a Census ZIP internal point, a Census place point or a USGS named place. We asked FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer which zone sits at the point and which zones fall within half a mile. We measured straight line miles to named washes from USGS hydrography and gauges, and to detention basins from USGS monitoring locations.
A ZIP point is one spot. Your street can sit in a different zone. FEMA's own map is the record for a single parcel.
