Data from NFIP shows only 52,400 homes and businesses are covered by flood insurance in the eight Southern California counties declared a disaster area because of this storm. That’s less than 1% of 7.7 million households in the affected area with coverage. Those counties have a combined population of more than 22.6 million people, according to the latest estimates from the Census Bureau.

Los Angeles County, with more than 10 million residents, has only 14,600 flood insurance policies in force.

Even some of those with flood insurance could find their policies won’t cover all of their losses. The federal policies have a limit of covering only $250,000 in damage to structures and $100,000 to the home’s contents. Those limits can be quickly exceeded, especially in Southern California
No FEMA check for them?

Imagine a country where if you have a federally backed loan, you must purchase flood insurance. Then you have millions of millions low risk insureds purchasing a $450 policy balancing the flood risk more evenly.

So you want people in desert climates to be forced to buy flood insurance?
Guess we should make people in the South by earthquake insurance while you are at it.

Let's hope skid row flooded. It needed a cleansing.

They aren't without flood risk what so ever.

Live a less than mile from the river, so my area is higher than most of the city. Never was required to have flood insurance but got it anyway. Up until a couple of years ago it was less than a dollar a day ($325-$360) for over a decade.

flood system is broken in partly due to the low volume of people in the country buying into it. If an extreme little risk policy cost $300 a year, it would help stabilize the entire picture. TONS AND TONS of preferred zone customers flood every single year nearly in every state.

You know what happens when an unexpected thunderstorm dumps even a half inch of water in a desert? Flash floods.

Here in this hopeless fricking hole we call L.A.
The only way to fix it is to flush it all away
Any fricking time, any fricking day
Learn to swim, I'll see you down in Arizona bay

Yes I was in Vegas once when it stormed badly and streets flooded but the amount of houses that flooded was minimal if any.
We have flood maps for a reason and requiring people who MIGHT be at risk of flooding once in a hundred years to get flood insurance is dumb.
Chad sells insurance so of course he wants the Gov to force you to buy more of it.

I get it, but people who buy insurance they don’t need is kind of the name of the game.
