A simple way to talk about flood risk on the Outer Cape

Flood maps can feel abstract and technical. This page turns them into a clear picture you can share with family, buyers, and lenders so everyone understands the basics before you make decisions.

See your place in the bigger picture

Quickly spot how your street or neighborhood sits within FEMA's flood zones so you can talk about risk with real context.

Know what buyers and lenders care about

Get a feel for when flood insurance may be required, how it can affect monthly costs, and what questions usually come up in a purchase or sale.

Plan ahead instead of reacting

Use the map as a starting point for conversations about insurance, renovations, and long-term ownership on the Outer Cape.

Next steps

Quick checklist to go from map to next steps

  • Pull the official FEMA map

    Save a copy of the current FEMA panel for your property so everyone is looking at the same information.

  • Ask a local surveyor about elevation

    If needed, a surveyor can tell you how high your floors sit compared to sea level—a common lender and insurance request.

  • Make a short list of flood-smart upgrades

    Jot down any vents, raised systems, or other improvements you've made so insurers and buyers can see the full picture.
