Risk Lookups
The US FEMA Firm operation exposes FEMA Flood Zones, published by the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA). This the primary method that emergency planners and some insurers gauge flood risk. Moody’s has digitized these maps to enable side-by-side comparison of their outputs with much higher resolution flood analytics. This will enable insurers to identify the best business out of the National Flood Insurance Plan (NFIP). This release reflects the first part of our bi-annual update of the product.
