Just type in your address.

On the Sumter County Flood Zone Map my area is in the white, which is good, so I'm not worried. South of 44 looks like a lot of the area is flood zone.

Thanks John, interesting map. We abut a wildlife preserve (AKA, a glorified swamp). The map shows up blue right up to the fence line in our back yard, then our property is white (low flood risk). Irma proved the map to be correct, as the water in the preserve came just about to our fence line, but our back yard remained dry. Before Irma, the preserve in our back yard was very dry, afterwards it was definitely a swamp. It was actually kind of enjoyable when the preserve filled with water, the wildlife in the area exploded, especially the birds and frogs.
