Flood zones & evacuation

100% of homes in Gulf Shores sit on a lot mostly inside a FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area, chiefly zone AE, where a federally backed mortgage requires flood insurance — measured across 85 mapped homes, and it varies from home to home. For hurricane evacuation Gulf Shores 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.
A starting point, not a determination. Your lender will require its own flood zone determination before closing, and your insurer will normally require an elevation certificate — a surveyor’s measurement of how high the building actually sits — before quoting. Those documents govern; this does not replace either. Zones can also be amended individually through FEMA.

Flood zones, evacuation, and insurance are explained in the Risk, Resilience & Insurance chapter of the 2027 Naples Buyer’s Guide.
