FLOODPLAIN 
The 100 year floodplain is an area that can be expected to be flooded once every 100 years.  It has a 1% 
chance of being flooded in any given year and about a 25% chance of being flooded over the life of a 
typical 30-year mortgage.  You can obtain a flood insurance policy to protect yourself from losses due to 
flooding.  See our page on Flood Protection for additional information. Although a 100 year flood can be 
expected to produce severe damage, smaller floods have a greater chance of occurring at and may pose 
a significant hazard to people and property.
