Hooker County, NE: flood risk, in FEMA's own numbers
On FEMA's National Risk Index, Hooker County scores at the 1.2th percentile for flood hazard, rated "Very Low" — among the lowest flood hazard in the country. The hazard here is driven by inland rivers and flash flooding rather than the coast — FEMA's model puts a flood event here at about once every 28 years. This describes the county, not any one street — FEMA only publishes exact parcel zones through a live map service.
Mandatory flood insurance compliance in Hooker County

Looking beyond the mandated zone, 0% of all residential structures in Hooker County carry flood coverage voluntarily or otherwise — relevant because most NFIP claims nationally come from outside the mapped SFHA.
