Is Camden County, GA in a flood zone?
FEMA's National Risk Index puts Camden County's flood hazard at the 71.6th percentile nationally — a middling flood hazard by national standards — driven by coastal storm surge rather than inland rivers — FEMA's model puts a surge event here at about 3.6 times a year. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Camden County's flood-insurance compliance gap
75.1% of the homes FEMA requires to carry flood insurance in Camden County — those inside the mapped Special Flood Hazard Area — actually have a policy in force: 1,294 policies against 1,724 mandated structures, which means a meaningful share of legally-required coverage simply isn't there. Across all residential structures in Camden County, not just the ones FEMA mandates, 14.9% carry an NFIP policy — most flood damage nationally happens outside the mapped high-risk zone, so that broader number matters too.
