What the record says

About 54% of claims here were on properties rated outside high-risk zones (zones X, B or C). A lower-risk zone on the map is not a guarantee.

Losses are spread across many events; the largest, Late summer storms, accounts for 27% of claims.

14 claims were filed in the last 10 years.

The most commonly recorded cause is heavy rain or snowmelt collecting faster than it drains, which can happen far from any river or coast.

Catoosa County* takes part in FEMA's Community Rating System (class 8), which can lower flood insurance premiums by up to 10% in high-risk zones.
