Rising Flood Risk Outpaces FEMA Maps as Billion-Dollar Disaster Costs Surge Nationwide

Salt Lake City, Utah — America’s flood maps are falling behind a rapidly growing reality: flood disasters are escalating nationwide, exposing millions of households to rising risk. New national data from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) shows a sharp escalation in the number of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters across the United States from 1980 to 2024. This includes the most common natural disaster, flooding.
Yet many communities still rely on FEMA flood maps that have not been updated in years or decades, creating a widening gap between mapped risk and actual risk.
“Flooding is evolving faster than FEMA’s mapping cycle,” said Brian Adamson, spokesperson for FloodPrice.com. “Homeowners who believe they’re ‘low risk’ based solely on FEMA maps may be facing far greater exposure today than those maps suggest.”
Flood Disasters Are Increasing — Even in Areas Considered “Low Risk”
The long-term national trend is unambiguous: the U.S. is experiencing more frequent and more costly flood-related disasters. NOAA’s Billion-Dollar Disasters analysis shows a dramatic increase in severe storm, tropical cyclone, and flooding events over the past several decades, with cumulative annual costs often surpassing $100 billion.

*Chart Source: NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) U.S. Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters (2025). https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/, DOI: 10.25921/stkw-7w73
Additional information can be found here: https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/billions/state-summary/US
The chart shows losses adjusted for inflation (CPI), meaning all costs are converted into today’s dollars so they can be accurately compared across decades. It represents direct losses from major weather events, including flooding, severe storms, tropical systems, and winter storms.
A New Challenge: NOAA Will No Longer Update the Billion-Dollar Disasters Dataset
NOAA recently announced that its National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) will discontinue updates to the Billion-Dollar Weather and Climate Disasters dataset due to changing priorities, statutory requirements, and staffing limitations. All existing reports from 1980–2024 will remain fully archived and authoritative, but no new annual updates are planned. NOAA has invited public feedback through the NESDIS Notice of Changes website.
This change has significant implications. For more than four decades, the dataset has been one of the clearest nationwide indicators of the financial toll of severe weather and flood-related events. Without future updates, homeowners, insurers, local governments, and researchers may have less visibility into emerging risk trends at a time when flood hazards continue to intensify.
“This type of information gap affects preparedness,” added Adamson. “As major national datasets sunset and FEMA’s maps continue to lag behind reality, homeowners will need additional tools to understand their true flood exposure.”
Outdated FEMA Maps Leave Millions Vulnerable
Federal and independent analyses continue to show that FEMA flood maps underrepresent real-world flood risk:
- Nearly two-thirds of FEMA flood maps are more than five years old, and many communities still rely on decades-old data.
- Current maps do not fully account for climate-driven rainfall, land-use changes, or sea-level rise.
- More than 25% of flood insurance claims occur outside FEMA’s “high-risk” zones — areas where coverage is often optional.
As flood disasters increase and updated mapping becomes less frequent, the burden shifts to homeowners to proactively identify their exposure.
How Homeowners Can Stay Ahead of Rising Flood Risk
1. Check your property’s flood zone using updated tools.
FloodPrice.com offers a free lookup tool that pulls official FEMA data while providing clear guidance.
Visit: https://www.floodprice.com/fema-flood-zone-map
2. Review your homeowners policy.
Standard homeowners insurance typically does not cover flood damage from a natural source.
3. Compare NFIP and private flood insurance.
Private flood insurance options may offer different coverage features and improved pricing, depending on eligibility. For a fast online quote that offers a side-by-side comparison, visit FloodPrice.com.
4. Consider mitigation steps.
Improving drainage, installing backflow valves, elevating mechanical systems, and other steps can reduce flood impact and may reduce the cost of a flood policy.

Brandon Gilkey Advocates for Youth Mentorship and Financial Education Amid Growing Economic Uncertainty
-
Real Estate Leader Highlights the Power of Guidance, Adaptability, and Long-Term Thinking for the Next Generation
Arizona, US, 11th February 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, As economic uncertainty, rising housing costs, and limited financial education continue to challenge young Americans, real estate entrepreneur Brandon Gilkey is using his voice to advocate for increased youth mentorship and practical financial literacy—especially for students navigating life beyond athletics and traditional career paths.

Gilkey, who transitioned from a sports-driven upbringing in Edmond, Oklahoma, to building over $8 million in real estate holdings, credits mentorship, adaptability, and long-term thinking as the foundation of his success.
“Growing up in sports taught me teamwork, dedication, and resilience,” Gilkey says. “But stepping away from the path I thought I was supposed to take forced me to grow in ways I never expected.”
A Timely Issue Backed by Data
According to recent national studies:
-
Over 60% of young adults report feeling unprepared to make major financial decisions
-
Nearly 70% of high school students receive no formal financial education
-
First-time homebuyer ages have climbed to record highs, largely due to lack of financial preparedness and rising costs
Gilkey believes mentorship can bridge that gap.
“Working with students showed me how powerful guidance can be,” he explains. “When young people have someone helping them see beyond what’s in front of them, it changes their trajectory.”
From Mentorship to Market Success
After graduating from Abilene Christian University in 2003, Gilkey spent years mentoring students through church-based programs before relocating to Phoenix with his wife. That move marked a turning point—one that led him into real estate, where he found a way to combine strategy, service, and long-term impact.
“Real estate isn’t just about transactions,” Gilkey says. “It’s about helping people build stability, confidence, and a future they can believe in.”
His success underscores a broader message: skills learned through discipline, mentorship, and service are transferable—and powerful—across industries.
Empowering the Next Generation Starts at Home
Rather than calling for policy changes alone, Gilkey emphasizes individual action—parents, mentors, coaches, and professionals taking responsibility to guide young people where systems fall short.
“You don’t need to be an expert to make a difference,” he says. “You just need to be willing to share your experience, listen, and help someone think long-term.”
What Individuals Can Do Now
-
Start conversations with young people about money, careers, and long-term planning
-
Encourage exploration beyond one-dimensional career paths
-
Support mentorship programs in schools, churches, and local communities
-
Share real-world lessons—not just success stories, but challenges too
“When we invest time in people early,” Gilkey adds, “we don’t just change individual lives—we strengthen entire communities.”
As economic pressures continue to rise, voices like Brandon Gilkey’s highlight a powerful truth: mentorship and education remain some of the most effective tools for long-term success—both financially and personally.
