Flood Risk Profile
Why Kansas Has High Water Damage Risk
Kansas has one of the most complex multi-hazard water damage risk profiles in the country: spring flooding from Kansas and Arkansas Rivers, summer flash flooding from severe storm systems, tornado-associated roof damage with subsequent rain intrusion, and arctic freeze events in winter. The 2019 spring flooding across Kansas was the most widespread in decades, with multiple rivers exceeding 100-year flood levels simultaneously.
- Kansas River and Arkansas River flooding
- Flash flooding from severe spring/summer storms
- Tornado damage combined with rain intrusion
- Freeze/pipe burst from arctic blasts

Insurance Info — Kansas
