    Does the FIGA fund now cover flood losses for these Florida home insurance companies that now include flood coverage?

    I am so happy that there is now company offering food insurance policy, because I always said that FEMA is a rip off.Imagine this, my home insurance policy cost $992.00 per year and my FEMA insurance policy cost $2886.00 per year. I have always argued that my house is more likely to be destroyed by fire rather than by a flood yet still FEMA food insurance rate is so high.

      I know this is late in being a response, but, actually, if you are in a SFHA, your likelihood of a flood is 30 times higher than a fire.
      Here is what most people do not want to understand – 100 year flood DOES NOT MEAN one time in 100 years. It means, 1% chance in any given year, and what they are predicting is that the area of normally dry land will be inundated 1% of the time. SO, in a 100 year period, it is predicted that the area included in the FEMA identified SFHA will be inundated for 365 days, or 3.65 days out of each year.
