Flood

FEMA maps place 15531 Lorel Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, within 500 ft of a high-risk flood zone.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective February 11, 2026 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

FEMA Flood Zone	Zone X minimal risk

Flood Insurance Requirement	Not required lenders may require it
Nearby Flood Policies	2 in force
Nearby Flood Claims	4 (1982–2008)
Most Recent Claim	Sep 2008 · Severe Storms And Flooding

Values are read at the parcel center point; flood claims are located to the census block group, not this parcel; lenders make the official flood determination.

Wildfire

The area around 15531 Lorel Ave has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

Source: USDA Forest Service Wildfire Risk to Communities (2nd edition), as of 2024

Wildfire Risk	Not rated no burnable land within ember reach

Values cover an area roughly 900 ft across, not the parcel itself; insurers use their own ratings.

Drinking Water

Source: EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System, as of September 2026
