Realtors, Lenders & Builders

As a real estate agent, lender, builder, developer or surveyor, you will not only want to understand how map changes may affect your business, you will also need to accurately explain the effects of flood maps to your colleagues and clients. You all have important roles to play:

• Real estate agents need to understand flood maps and how they may affect a potential home buyer.
• Lenders should stay abreast of map changes so they can ensure their clients buy and/or maintain adequate flood insurance coverage.
• The building industry needs to be aware of changes that can affect building and elevation requirements.

Use the tools available in the "Resources" section in the right margin of this page to stay current with flood map changes.
