Flood

FEMA maps place 3 Cedar St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 2 flood claims nearby since 1987.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective September 10, 2026 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Nearby Flood Policies	2 in force
Nearby Flood Claims	2 (1987–1991)
Claims Outside the SFHA	1 of 2

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 3 Cedar St has no burnable land within ember reach, so its wildfire risk is not rated.

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