Is Blanket in the National Flood Insurance Program?
Yes. Blanket appears in the FEMA Community Status Book as Blanket, city of, community 480719, with no Community Rating System class, so no CRS discount applies. Whether a specific parcel sits in a mapped special flood hazard area is an address level question the platform answers.

Is zoning published for Blanket?
No. Nothing on this page presents parcel level zoning.
