Many Louisiana businesses and homeowners go without flood insurance. Some people figure the odds are low that anything will happen, while other people think that a flood is covered under their current policy. Let us correct you; unless you have added flood insurance coverage, it is excluded. We agree that the probability is low, nonetheless, it does exist. Now is the time to consider flood insurance.
In 2012 NFIP proposed reforms that would result in premium increases across the nation. Some properties will be hit harder than others. The Biggert-Waters act severely impacted older properties that will be losing special grandfathered rating. There is a bipartisan bill that if passed would help with the premium increases in the Biggert-Water act.

Insurance is all about understanding risks, and not every business or homeowner is equally at risk for flood losses. Your risks depend on how close you live to rivers, streams, lakes or flood zones, or how well your home was built to withstand losses. Some mortgage companies may even require flood insurance, depending where your home is located.
