FEMA has announced that despite the worst flooding in recent Louisiana history, flood insurance will continue to be available to homeowners, renters, and businesses at pre-flood prices.
The August flooding will not trigger remapping of flood zones or changes in base flood elevations. This includes remapping efforts that have been underway for several years in six of the designated parishes. Revisions of Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRM) and Base Flood Elevations (BFE) in those parishes will continue based on data compiled prior to the latest flood.

I call bullshite! Just this past week there was a guy on my mother's property checking elevations and admitted that he was there under a government contract. Now, is anyone gullible enough to believe that the flooded areas of Livingston Parish just happened to be scheduled for the survey now?

Why would they change the maps based on the August flood? It was in excess of a 100yr storm, and even in excess of a 500yr storm in most areas. Maps depict 100yr & 500yr special flood hazard areas.

Flood maps showed that our house would flood from the south based on a creek that runs by our neighborhood. We flooded from the north.
Oh well.
Oh well.

Received letter from my insurance agent to expect a notification soon for any homeowner with a mortgage in our area will have to carry flood insurance even if you didn't flood in this recent epic flooding. frick them.
