App size: 27.57 Mb
Beyond Floods helps you to protect your current property or your prospective dream home. Be prepared! Understand how flood risk affects your property and act in a timely manner! Why?
+ Mandatory government flood insurance can add thousands of dollars to the yearly cost of owning real estate
+ Flood Insurance is force-placed by banks for several homeowners when they are least aware
+ Dealing with flood insurance at closing of loans, while refinancing, or when the government changes the maps is already too late
+ Flood damage often occurs even in areas that are not deemed by FEMA to be high risk. E.g., 1 out of 3 flood claims originate outside the regulated FEMA Special Flood Hazard Areas
+ Flooding is more likely to affect your property than burglaries or fires on an average
Beyond Floods provides you with a simple way to understand the impact of these issues to your property and act on it. Download our free app and lookup any New York City, NY; Miami-Dade, FL; Palm Beach, FL; Harris County (Houston), TX; or Washington DC area property for a quick overview of flood impacts.
We will be serving other geographies soon! Please check back for updates.
---------------------
To get you started in easily understanding your property structures vulnerability to flood risk, Our Free App features the Flood Outlook Score. This 0-100 score per property address provides you with a simple abstraction of flood risk and it is calculated based on 25 influencing flood factors. When comparing properties, remember that the greater the Flood Outlook Score, the more resilient a property is to flood risk, and thus is a better real estate investment than properties with lower scores.

+ Address lookup for property-level free Flood Outlook Score and Flood Risk Impacts Summary based on building structure data
+ Assessment of current and future FEMA regulations at property-level
+ Flood Insurance Premium estimates based on best available maps
