My wife is listening and said something like that but she rarely knows what she's talking about.

Apparently you can purchase flood insurance on your fema trailer in lieu of elevating

This is complete and utter bull shite. Someone tell me how this is constitutional. THIS is why big government sucks.
I live in BR, but my parents flooded in Central.

And will probably never flood again. Why it's so outlandish

It's only required if you want to purchase federally subsidized flood insurance.
ETA: or federally subsidized SBA loans
Don't ask for the subsidy if you don't like the rules

According to the local news, some older homes at much lower elevation may have to be elevated in East Baton Rouge and Livingston.
Not everyone that flooded.
It would be ridiculous to use this flood as a benchmark.

Edit: but isn't all flood insurance federally subsidized?

Nope. Just those written through the NFIP
There's private plans out there, however they are typically not too affordable which is why the government has been forced to subsidize the whole NFIP run by FEMA
And people just HATE when they try and reduce the flood risk for the future

Did I miss Step 2? Or is it not there...?
Posted on 8/26/16 at 10:24 pm to mpar98
the fed's should quit wasting money with all of this crap and build the Amite reservoir and Comite diversion canal. It will be cheaper in the long run.

I'm not familiar with elevating houses at all, how the hell does it work without rebuilding the entire house? Just remove the assembled walls and raise the slab section by section, then replace the walls? What about the roof in that situation? Or do they do the entire house at once and lift the slab? I'm having a hard time putting it together in my head.

Raising houses and you: A FEMA primer.

That was the ultimate source of info to answer my questions, good work sir. Overall, it looks like an extremely complicated, expensive, invasive, and timely operation. It does seem SOMEWHAT simpler if you have a basement or crawl space, but still all of the above.
Don't see how they could possibly raise hundreds of houses in EBR and the surrounding areas in any kind of timely manner, and some houses may not even be possible. What will they do with those, just say "nah, don't worry about it?" Plus, even the illustration houses that FEMA used in their info guide didn't look quite right after being raised.
