Know Your Zone program educates St. Louis homeowners about flood risks

Floods are the most common and most costly type of natural disasters. According to the National Flood Insurance Program, the average flood claim for homeowners and renters exceeds $35,000 in damages. The Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District (MSD) has launched a public awareness initiative – “Know Your Zone” – to encourage residents to find out what flood zone you live in and to do your research about flood insurance.
