Wildfire Risk
๐ŸŒฟ
Appears Low Risk: Here's Why

Ophiem sits in the Midwest agricultural corridor, where continuous wildland-urban interface fuel is minimal. Predominantly tilled farmland, high annual rainfall (35 to 45 inches), and the absence of large contiguous forests create conditions that do not support the sustained wildfires common in western states. Local creek corridors and wooded copses can experience small grass or brush fires during dry spells, but these rarely threaten structures and are typically covered under a standard HO-3 policy. No supplemental wildfire policy is typically required here.

We recommend consulting your insurance agent to confirm your policy's wildfire coverage and any applicable exclusions before making coverage decisions.

Zone percentages may not sum to 100%. Rounding, areas without FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) coverage, and parcels that carry more than one zone designation all contribute to this. Zone codes follow FEMA's official FIRM naming convention: "AE" indicates high-risk inland flooding with detailed base flood elevation data; "X" covers both moderate- and low-risk areas outside the 1% annual chance floodplain; "D" marks areas where flood hazard is possible but not yet determined; and "A99" applies to areas protected by levees under construction. Coverage and zone boundaries are updated as FIRMs are revised. Verify the current map for your property at msc.fema.gov.
