The Fedral Emergency Management Agency is in the process of updating Knox County’s flood plain maps. Flood plains or zones are geographic areas that FEMA has defined according to varying levels of flood risk. These zones are depicted on a community’s Flood Insurance Rate Map or Flood Hazard Boundary Map. Each zone reflects the severity or type of flooding in the area.
