Flood risk in Winston-Salem

Flooding is not covered by a standard homeowners policy anywhere in the country — it is a separate policy. Whether you are required to carry it depends on the zone your address falls in.

FEMA's current mapping for the Winston-Salem area shows Zone AE alongside Zone X, which is the lower-risk designation.

Winston-Salem is in FEMA's Community Rating System at Class 8, which earns residents 10% off flood insurance in the high-risk zones. Most homeowners have never heard of this and it applies automatically.
