In 1987, former president Ronald Reagan signed National Geography Awareness Week into law. Recognized every third week in November, the observance promotes geographic literacy among communities, schools and organizations.

Geography plays a vital role in everyday lives and business operations, such as determining voting districts, emergency vehicle routes, and, flood hazard mapping. This observance provides an opportunity for all residential and commercial building owners to evaluate the flood risk associated with their homes and buildings to see if they were built responsibly to protect them from flood damage. Thousands of residential and commercial building owners are required to maintain flood insurance on their properties because the mortgage companies believe the properties fall within Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA). More than 90% of SFHA homes and buildings Flood Zone Correction, Inc., evaluated in the year 2002 were incorrectly designated. As a result of advances in geographic analysis and extensive experience in this area, Flood Zone Correction, Inc., successfully corrected 100% of these designations to eliminate the unwarranted requirements.
