FLOOD INSURANCE REFORM MEANS HIGHER PREMIUMS

The reform envisions repricing some subsidized premiums but, because of the long history of subsidies and grandfathering, insuring agencies don’t have the information needed to adjust premiums with re-evaluating each individual property.  To legislate Congress passed the Flood Insurance Affordability Act which delays premium increased for 4   years or 6 months after FEMA proposed policy changed & regulations to address affordability issues.  The National Flood Insurance Program is $24 billion in debt in large part to subsidize premiums for some.  Watch as Congress works with this in years to come!
