The city of Cedar Falls, Iowa, has approved a new ordinance expanding the number of residents who have to get flood insurance.
The approved ordinance takes effect Jan. 1. It says that everyone living in the 500-year flood plain, instead of the 100-year flood plain, has to have flood insurance.
It also bans new construction in the flood plain.
The changes come after last year’s record floods.
