    Subsidies end for flood insurance and start for health care on October 1st. The Governement will not have time to listen with the upcoming confusion.

    You’ve been subsidized up the wazoo for a long long long time. SO it’s supposed to continue in perpetuity?

    When you depend on government for anything, at some point you will be let down. Sometimes big. This is one of those times.

    Kasimos’ flood premium would go up 10 fold and he founded “Stop FEMA Now” so what would he expect without his FEMA subsidy????

    Stop FEMA Now is a group of concerned citizens, who have not only been affected by Hurricane Sandy, but who have been impacted on varying levels by the implications of the new FEMA flood maps. The decision to adopt these maps is premature and requires additional consideration. We want to, quite simply, Stop FEMA Now!
    Our mission is to change FEMA policy to raise homes, lower Base Flood Elevations and Lower Flood Insurance Premiums
    Our goal is to create community awareness as the adoption of these maps will heavily impact many communities across this country. These maps will tear many from their homes, force many to make harsh decisions about their futures with no real place to turn and ultimately change our lives. The financial implications alone are frightening!
    Stop FEMA Now is New Jersey based but is the “voice of the country”. We welcome everyone from all states to join and share information.

      Then you should petition FEMA to permit the private insurance market to underwrite flood insurance. If you want true subsidy then people in AZ will pay for flood coverage. I wouldn’t want to pay for your flood coverage. Remember, this is the federal government acting as insurer. Inadequate coverage, rate and service. Disasters covered by the private sector insurers are handled superbly compared to this mess. Insurers know how do it but the fed has to let them.

      Insurance rates are based on risk. If you are in a high risk area, your rates will be higher. Flood insurance through FEMA should be either eliminated or appropriately priced. Continually expecting taxpayers to rescue this program is absurd. Get over yourself.

    Stopping FEMA doesn’t address the underlying problem, which is home construction and rebuilding in flood plains. The solution is simple, but a transition away from high frequency flood plains will not occur in our lifetime. However, we should start the process of migrating personal dwellings outside flood plains when damage occurs and allowing tax credits to businesses to purchase and use the abandoned land for warehouses and other buildings that can withstand floods without sustaining great damage.
