Or forever pay increasing flood insurance.

FEMA has made new maps.  Which means depending on where you live, you may need new insurance because of it.

Does it sound rigged to you?

WHO is the NFIP? 

The 90 day comment period is open.  You better make some noise.

We'll be glad when that feces floating, wakeboard, restaurant, drive-in building, flood control project, the Trinity River Vision, is complete.  Won't you?

Once all comments and appeals are resolved, FEMA will notify communities of the effective date of the final maps. When a flood risk is identified, the next step is to consider the purchase of a flood policy from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The NFIP is currently undergoing a thorough modernization. Meanwhile, contacting a local insurance agent is the first step to gather information about insurance. Folks can visit www.floodsmart.gov or call 1-888-379-9531 to locate an agent in their area.
