The Federal Emergency Management Agency says its flood insurance arm will re-inspect more eastern North Carolina homes and businesses damaged during Hurricane Irene after owners complained claims adjusters weren’t doing a good job.
FEMA announced Wednesday the National Flood Insurance Program re-inspections will begin immediately.
The decision comes after State Insurance Commissioner Wayne Goodwin and Bob Etheridge — Gov. Beverly Perdue’s adviser on the Irene recovery — wrote a letter last Friday saying citizens weren’t happy with the pace and results of flood claims requests. State and federal officials met Wednesday in Raleigh to discuss the problems.
