Online property risk assessment company CDS Business Mapping has added a new report to its online property risk estimating application, RiskMeter.com. The new Flood Elevation report provides insight to property damage outside of a flood zone.

By typing in an address, users will have access to flood data such as the FEMA flood zone, distance to flood zone, estimated base flood elevation, elevation at a location, estimated height above a flood zone, estimated water depth in a flood zone, and optional aerial photos.

“After the events of the 2005 hurricane season, many insurers learned that floods don't stop at the edge of a flood zone,” said Dan Munson, CDS vice president of sales and marketing.
