FEMA will hold a free virtual open house Tuesday, Sept. 1, from 2 to 4 p.m. for Muskegon County residents.

Residents can log on to Zoom to check their address on new preliminary flood maps and meet one-on-one with FEMA experts to discuss property risks.

The event comes after flooding this past spring forced a local emergency declaration in Muskegon County.

Officials warn most home and renter's insurance does not cover flood damage. More than 40% of flood insurance claims come from outside high-risk zones.
