FAQs

  1. What is a 100 Year Flood and How is it Determined?

    Floods happen at irregular intervals. In the 1960s, the U.S. government decided to use the 1% Annual Exceedance Probability (AEP) flood as the basis for the National Flood Insurance Program. The 1% AEP flood was chosen to balance protecting the public without being too strict. This flood has a 1-in-100 chance of happening in any given year, so it’s also called the "100-year flood." A home in the 1% (100-year) floodplain has a 26% chance of being flooded at least once during a 30-year mortgage.
