With the upcoming Risk Rating 2.0 program in October this will effect rates again. However, FEMA is not the only option for flood insurance. The private flood market has grown tremendously and these carriers can offer more coverage options and competitive premiums.

Food prices go up. Prescription prices go up. Fire dues go up. Taxes go up. Utilities goes up. Does anything go down? I also know my Social Security does not go up because Medicaid goes up and takes away my COLA. How do retired people go forward to live into the future.... Bureaucrats answer to all problems is to raise prices to everything. Insurance rates go up, Flood insurance goes up. Food prices go up. Prescription prices go up. Fire dues go up. Taxes go up.

But doesn't include any of eleven mile creek. Epic failure. I live on the south end of eleven mile creek off mobile hwy in a place built in the 1800s. Never flooded until 2014 and Sally. Water had been in yard a few times but no where near the house until then. 6 ft in yard 2014. 3 ft in Sally. All that development the county allowed north of the interstate has caused a bad problem. And new subdivisions on klondike rd and nine mile rd it's only getting worse. Incompetent leaders. So the map includes escambia river. But doesn’t include any of eleven mile creek. Epic failure.

Follow the links in the article. It's very convoluted to find the maps once you click the NWFWMD links. (you know what government websites can before). We've also gone back and made the graphic on this page clickable to the actual map, and added a clearer link at the top of the story to skip the presentation and see the Escambia County map. >>Where is the key or legend in order to understand this map??
