Flood

FEMA maps place 611 Forest Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 8 flood claims nearby since 1984.

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	51 units insured incl. 45 condo units

Claims Outside the SFHA	7 of 8
Most Recent Claim	Jul 2014 · rainfall accumulation
Claims by Event	Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, And Flooding, Apr 2013 · 2 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 611 Forest 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

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