Flood

FEMA maps place 218 Racine in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 2 flood claims nearby since 1980.

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	1 in force
Nearby Flood Claims	2 (1980–1987)
Most Recent Claim	Aug 1987 · Severe Storms & 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 218 Racine 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.
