First Street Foundation releases new data disclosing flood risk of every home in the contiguous U.S

N. B.:  According to the Association of State Flood Plain Managers (ASFPM), the First Street Foundation Flood risk data is based upon a nationwide 30-meter or 98 ft. 5 in. Contour Digital Elevation Model (DEM), rather than the finer 6.1 meter or 20 ft. Contour elevation data provided by USGS 7.5 minute Quadrangle Topographic Maps.
