Just type in the address! Realtor.com announced a new Flood Factor feature created in partnership with the First Street Foundation. FEMA flood maps are useful but don't quantify your direct flood risk over the life of your home ownership. Finding a home’s flood history is difficult, as disclosure laws vary by state, and individual insurance claims are protected by privacy laws.

• Calculates any location’s probability of flooding from the four major flood types: rain, riverine, tidal events, and storm surge.

• Incorporates precise elevation data and local adaptation measures like seawalls and levees into its flood projections, validates against modeled historic floods, and then analyzes and maps the combined flood risk.
