NationWide Flood

Dallas-based NationWide Flood Research Inc. launched TruRisk, a proprietary mapping and risk assessment application that shows where properties lie in relation to special flood hazard areas. NationWide Flood Research’s clients have the option to receive TruRisk maps in either English or Spanish, initially at no cost, with their flood zone determinations.

About 25 percent of all flood insurance claims are for properties located outside of identified high risk areas. Real estate is near a special flood hazard area to self-assess their risk and evaluate their need for flood insurance.
