The potential for marked consequences may be realized when those who have no real knowledge of the industry or coverages available think they can dictate procedure.

For those choosing to live in high risk areas especially those of the wind pool , coverage is available in the forms of NFIP flood and homeowners wind policies. Those who do not insure their residences and businesses against both the risk of wind AND flood in regions most likely affected, which are delta plains lying at or below sea level, knowingly assume the risk for potential damage.

Is it fair for those who gamble and lose the bet with mother nature to reap the same benefits of those who played it safe and purchase the proper polices?

The coverage is there, deciding to invest in it is a personal choice. Hindsight is always 20/20.
