And finally, we’ve updated FEMA zones based on user-provided documentation, and improved statistics for 1,100 previously unavailable properties in Georgia.

Previous flood risk projections in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex area were using older elevation data. Thanks to user feedback and help from local officials, we’ve incorporated new high-resolution LiDAR elevation data that improves flood risk projections in this area.

FloodFactor.com is continually improving and refining our flood models, incorporating the latest available data, and listening to feedback. Latest updates 👇
