Brazos River Flooding Is a Real Risk Here

McLennan County has an effective FEMA flood map. Properties near the Brazos River, the North, Middle, and South Bosque rivers, and Tehuacana and Aquilla creeks face flood risk. If your home is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA), your lender will likely require flood insurance.

You can look up any address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov. Search by address to see your flood zone. Even properties outside the SFHA can flood — about 25 percent of flood claims come from low- to moderate-risk areas. Consider flood insurance regardless of your zone.
