How Do You Find The Flood Zones Of Revere, Massachusetts?
Like other communities along the Atlantic coast, the city of Revere in Massachusetts is hit each year with a combination of wind, weather and waves that cause flooding for homeowners and business. Revere has received updated flood hazard maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency that define areas of the city prone to seasonal flooding. These maps, often called Flood Insurance Rate Maps or FIRM maps, expand prior flood hazard zones.
