Hi all,
I was thinking of buying in Ossining or White Plains, NY. However, I had some trouble finding flood maps online. Was wondering if anyone know where to find some sort of flood risk statistic map or chart for Westchester, NY?
Thanks for your help!

@BB Liu thanks!
To be honest, I'm not sure I understand that map.
Do you know of something similar to this chart I found for New Jersey's North-East region but for Westchester?
Perhaps something that displays a zip code's risk when compared with others in the county. This example is for NJ: https://bsa.nfipstat.fema.gov/reports/1040.htm#34

UPDATE:
After much digging, finally found a great resource that shows the elevation in meters for just about every city. Wanted to share it here in case anyone else is looking for the same thing: http://www.floodmap.net/
