Flood Awareness Week Proclamation

Did You Know?

  • Everyone is at risk of flooding, but some properties in Altamonte Springs are at a higher risk than others. Property owners need to know their flood risk.
  • Floods are the most common hazard in the U.S. Most homeowners’ insurance doesn't cover flood damage, but flood insurance is available to everyone regardless of whether you rent, own or have a business.
  • Flood insurance is required on any structure that is located in a special flood hazard area and is financed through a federally backed mortgage or loan including conventional home mortgage loans, home improvement loans, construction loans and commercial loans.
  • The City's active participation in the Community Rating System (CRS) allows city residents to receive discounts on flood insurance.
  • The City is here to help with any questions about flood zones, elevation certificates and on-site recommendations for drainage issues. This information is free to property owners, insurance agents, realtors or anyone interested in flood protection.
