From Abbie Kamin, City Council District C:
Changes to flood insurance programs are coming and it’s important for residents to know how this may affect you. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is implementing a new methodology to the National Flood Insurance Program. For those of us in floodplains, flood insurance in required. With the new way FEMA is calculating rates, there could be significant impacts, especially for areas that have experienced multiple floods.
We want to ensure residents have an opportunity to learn about how these changes may affect you, as well as have an opportunity to voice your thoughts and questions directly to FEMA representatives. Please join Congresswoman Lizzie Fletcher and I for a webinar to discuss these changes with FEMA representatives and other special guests on Monday, October 25 at 7:00 p.m.
