    The document provides information on flood risk management related to a specific location, 440 Canton Rd, Lumberton, NC, as outlined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). It underscores the importance of flood insurance, noting that typical homeowners insurance policies do not cover flood damage, and indicates that homeowners in low to moderate flood risk areas are statistically more likely to face flooding rather than fire. The National Flood Insurance Program offers policies that could be as affordable as $400 annually, urging readers to contact their insurance agents for coverage. The file further details the flood map (FIRM - Flood Insurance Rate Map) for the area, designating it as Zone AE, effective since December 6, 2019, which signifies areas subject to inundation by the 1% annual chance flood. The map includes structural details, flood hazard zones, and additional resources for risk mitigation and disaster assistance, reinforcing FEMA's commitment to flood preparedness and community safety. The document serves as a resource for local government officials, residents, and stakeholders interested in understanding their flood risk and securing proper insurance and mitigation measures against flood damage.
