NFIP’s New Lower-Cost Insurance OptionWho’s Eligible? Owners of buildings that were mapped into an SFHA due to a FIRM revision effective on or after October 1, 2008, and before January 1, 2011, are eligible to receive a reduced premium for up to two years beginning January 1, 2011, through December 31, 2012. The property must still meet PRP eligibility requirements related to claims and disaster aid. In addition, insurance agents will need to provide previous and cur-rent flood zone documentation (e.g., previous and current effective FIRM2) to validate PRP extension eligibility. Property owners should be reminded to talk to their insurance agent about other available rating options offered through the National Flood Insurance Program that may provide them with additional savings (e.g., grandfathering, elevation rating, and higher deductibles).

Most flood-related deaths and injuries could be avoided if people who come upon areas covered with water followed this simple advice: Turn Around Don't Drown™.
The reason that so many people drown during flooding is because few of them realize the incredible power of water. A mere six inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult. It takes only two feet of rushing water to carry away most vehicles. This includes pickups and SUVs.
If you come to an area that is covered with water, you will not know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. This is especially true at night, when your vision is more limited.
Play it smart, play it safe. Whether driving or walking, any time you come to a flooded road, TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN!
