I am with Bob C.
With the April 2014 flood event, I would presume the county made fixes and improvements to flood event controls.
Or is working towards that goal.
And perhaps in another year or two those improvements will give the county a better rating?

Wondering, how did the final report of the Escambia County Storm Water Assessment Team (Task force?) turn out?
Know one of the outstanding things from their hard work was to move the Storm Water to a 100 year range.

Bigger question is, What will Escambia County do with the recommendations from this team of experts?

What has been done in Escambia County since April 2014 to lessen the impact of heavy rains over short periods of time?

@ New

Flood Insurance is sold through many of our local companies that offer Home Owner’s Insurance.
Homeowner Insurance does NOT cover you for flood.
Flood Insurance is managed thru these local / national companies and the insurance is managed by FEMA.
Just shop around for a company you feel comfortable with the Federal Government FEMA is really the one insuring you.

I’m new to the area. Does anyone have suggestions for the best flood insurance?
