| Is you home in the flood zone? FEMA is in the process of updating the flood maps for Chambers County. Take a look at the preliminary maps. New maps will put thousands properties into "velocity zones," or V-Zones – the highest risk for flooding. While some properties once in flood zones will find themselves high and dry. Wells Land Survey, LLC professional land surveyors can perform these elevation surveys to determine the finished floor elevation of your structure relative to the base flood elevation. |

to construction, building in compliance with base flood elevation standards

Flood insurance premiums are expected to rise. A new law intended
to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) makes
several changes to the way flood insurance premiums are calculated.
Certain events will cause an immediate increase in flood
insurance premiums.
The loss of subsidies and grandfathered status will be phased out
over a four or five-year period. However, your rates will immediately
increase to full-risk rates if you allow a flood insurance policy to
lapse. If you buy a property in a flood zone that are below the BFE,
you will pay full-risk rates immediately.
Flood zone maps are changing throughout the country.
Even if you don’t have to have flood insurance now, you may be
required to have it under the new maps. That means buildings
might now be in a flood zone that weren’t before, or they may now
be in a higher-risk zone. The Federal Emergency Management
Agency (FEMA) is updating maps throughout the country to reflect
current flood risk.
to strengthen the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) makes

- The law, known as the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Act,
phases in increased flood insurance rates for homes in flood
zones. Premiums have the potential to increase by 25 percent
per year, for the next four years until the full-risk rates are
reached.
- You may not realize that the flood insurance rates you are
currently paying may be discounted by the government. The
law phases out the government’s support for flood insurance
policies – except for those protecting primary residences. You
will no longer receive discounts for second homes and
commercial buildings.
- It eliminates grandfathering. In the past, many buildings were
allowed to keep their original flood-risk rating even if the zone
designation was changed in a later flood zone map. Beginning
in 2014, all buildings will be rated using the latest maps.
