Field notes

The homepage links its methodology to FEMA’s OpenFEMA NFIP Redacted Claims dataset and says it aggregates and sorts the records without estimating missing values. Its current coverage is limited to five states, with county rankings and guides on flood zones, property-history questions, and how to compare claims data. The site also distinguishes its independent reference role from FEMA and notes FEMA’s general-reference-only caveat.
