Missouri Flood Risk Areas & Water Bodies
Missouri’s flood risk is shaped by its major rivers and extensive waterways, including:

Heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, and flash flooding often impact low-lying areas and communities near these waterways. Even neighborhoods with levee protection are not immune.
