Partial The address lookup and map UI are buildable, but the insurance-cost estimates and draft-map comparisons depend on proprietary or hard-to-get datasets and actuarial-style modeling.
What it would actually take: Ingest FEMA NFHL flood zones, USGS or LiDAR elevation, Base Flood Elevation data, and NOAA storm history into a geospatial database such as PostGIS, then serve address lookups. Insurance cost estimates need licensed rate or policy data, and the draft-map comparison needs FEMA's draft data processed carefully. Expertise in flood hydrology or actuarial modeling and data licensing is needed to make the numbers trustworthy.
