Flood

FEMA maps place 9540 S Bennett Ave in Zone X, an area of minimal flood risk, though there have been 5 flood claims nearby since 1981.

Source: FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer, effective February 11, 2026 · OpenFEMA NFIP redacted claims and policies, as of September 2026

Flood Insurance Requirement	Not required lenders may require it
Nearby Flood Claims	5 (1981–2010)
Claims Outside the SFHA	2 of 5
Most Recent Claim	Jul 2010 · Severe Storms And 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 9540 S Bennett Ave 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.
