Does the FEMA maps ever get updated? When I look it shows 2013 as the last update for my new village. Because my contract for the new house has the line that I am in a flood zone, my mortgage company is requiring that I get it.

I'm okay with getting it if it is really required, but it just seems like all these decisions are based on somewhat dated information. Is a flood zone in 2013 still a flood zone in 2022 when the entire area has literally been changed?
