Do you know if the area you live in is prone to flooding? The City of San Antonio Public Works Department can help you determine if you’re at risk.
Using the Federal Emergency Management Agency’s flood insurance rate maps, Public Works can show you basic flood information including flood zones, local drainage areas, depths of flooding, flood-related hazards and historical flood data. They can also share with you the areas of town that provide natural floodplain ecosystem functions.
If flood water affects your property, Public Works can investigate the problem to give property protection advice, including drainage improvement suggestions and guidance on financial assistance programs.
