Home Ways We Help Reduce Flood Risk Assessing Your Home’s Flood Risk
The River Authority has invested a lot of resources in developing updated floodplain maps throughout Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad counties. They help people assess their risk of flooding and determine whether they need flood insurance.
Since natural flood plains are constantly changing, it is important to keep the regulatory floodplain maps as current possible. This helps communities better understand their real risk of flooding. To stay aware of the current flood plain, view the River Authority Floodplain Viewer.
The River Authority’s Flood Risk Viewer has been retired. Search your address for a more complete analysis of your flood risk using our Draft Floodplain Viewer.
Even if your property is not in the floodplain, you could still be at high risk of flooding. Assessing one’s actual flood risk requires a deeper understanding of a property’s potential for flood, and personal knowledge of what is at stake.
