Flood

FEMA maps place 304 S 4th St in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 6 flood claims nearby since 1980.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective January 2, 2009 · 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 Claims	6 (1980–2008)
Claims Outside the SFHA	1 of 6
Most Recent Claim	Sep 2008 · Severe Storms And Flooding
Claims by Event	Severe Storms And Flooding, Sep 2008 · 3 claims

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 304 S 4th St 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

Water System	DEKALB serves 40,290 people · EPA ID IL0370100

Violations Reported to EPA
