I don't understand your comment about being screwed. From what I read it only affects those seeking a new policy and does not affect those that have a policy in place. I have a very hard time imagining many people trying to start a new flood insurance policy in January.

Oh but I do agree that the occupants of DC are idiots and playing games,.... all of them with very few exceptions!

Anybody attempting to secure a mortgage for a home that is in a flood plain the lender usually requires flood insurance before they can close on the property. Moot now.

Only those who bought homes this month, everyone else will be affected when the existing policy come up for renewal. What this means is that 100% of the policyholders will be affected within the next 11 months. I think the real problem will be for those with mortgages, who have banks that require flood coverage. Simply another example of Trump destroying the basics of a civilized society. MAGA, my ass!

My point was in the event of a shutdown the program would be unfunded. Thus anybody who locked in a rate could possibly loose it if the home they were attempting to purchase was on the coast. Most banks will not release a mortgage without the protection of flood insurance on homes located in flood prone areas. Seems that we will be back into this position in a couple of weeks as congress and DA continue to stroke their egos and screw their constituents.

Same as Hurricane insurance. If there's a named storm coming, and you need insurance, you won't get it.

This could be a big problem.

Hopefully Dec 7th won’t once again become a day that lives in infamy.

I called Nelson's office they are on it. What continues to baffle me is that I found it on a Boston channel yet nothing was mentioned locally.

Maybe the locals don’t want to draw attention to the fact that the GOP regime isn’t taking care of business.

Could be, they said they like dumb people

I don't understand why this clustef**k is not reported by the media in FL. If this goes unfunded folks will not be able to purchase a home as most banks require flood insurance along the coast and current homeowners will loose their coverage..

This is a pain the ass. People need to have flood insurance to protect their homes. I hope they straighten it out soon.

It seems you have found a common cause with the POTUS People need to assume the appropriate level of risk that they have chosen to live or invest in. The national flood insurance is promoting more and more money to be invested in high risk locations that see their equity increase upon the backs taxpayer subsidies. If banks won't risk the loan, it is not the duty of the public to artificially maintain value. Talk about a hidden tax on the middle class that benefits the rich. 300,000,000 people are carrying over a 100.00 of debt each to cover the $40 billion Probable Maximum Annual Loss risk assumed by a 5,000 luxury properties which are predominantly the wealthy's second homes built in the line of fire. and at the same time disturbing the coast's natural resistance to eroding shorelines.

If I could afford a beach lot, I would build a disposable gilligan Island style weekend getaway, and keep primary residence inland where there is less loss risk. If high risk waterfront properties were allowed to assume their natural value based on the risk of loss Maybe I could afford one.
