Flood zones & evacuation
4% of homes in Bay Forest sit on a lot mostly inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, chiefly zone AH, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance — measured across 630 mapped homes, and 26% sit on a lot that crosses the line, so it varies from home to home. For hurricane evacuation Bay Forest is in Collier Zone A.
Two different things, measured by two different agencies. Evacuation zones are about storm surge and who leaves first. Flood zones are FEMA’s insurance rating, and they vary from home to home.
Zone A Collier
The first zone ordered to evacuate, and the one called in the weakest storms.
FEMA flood maps and Collier County Emergency Management. A revised Collier County flood map is in preparation and may change these zones.
Flood zone varies by home — each home’s page shows its own.Flood zones, evacuation, and insurance are explained in the Risk, Resilience & Insurance chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
