As a real estate agent or broker, you'll want to disclose any changes in flood risk levels to your clients, and tell them about flood insurance requirements and options. Not to do so puts you at risk. Here's the good news: The new maps are much easier to use than the older maps. Just enter an address, online, to see the new map. Future updates will be added as completed, so you'll always be working with the most recent information.

As a Listing Agent, Check the Risk Level

The lister should disclose if the property is now or will be in a high-risk area (Special Flood Hazard Area). Go to the New Flood Map Viewers and pull up the flood map to locate the property of interest.
