FEMA maps place 16 Colgate Rd in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 2 flood claims nearby since 2004.

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 16 Colgate Rd has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.
