West Palm Beach, FL (ContentDesk)January 7 2004–As consumers throughout the country await the final tally on 2003 holiday expenditures, Flood Zone Correction, Inc., has some good news for the money blues. Over 90% of homeowners forced to buy flood insurance shouldn’t be. That’s a savings of $300 to $500 every year, $12,000 to $15,000 over the course of a 30-year mortgage!Before those eagerly anticipated bills arrive, Flood Zone Correction, Inc., suggests a flood risk analysis. This comprehensive examination will provide consumers whose homes or buildings are within Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) -designated Special Flood Hazard Areas (SFHA) with either an understanding of the need for their lender’s flood insurance requirement or an indication that the flood insurance requirements should not exist. In 2002, the latest year for which figures are available, American consumers purchased over 4.3 million flood insurance policies through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) at a cost of $1.7 billion. Insurance requirements imposed by mortgage companies are the basis for the vast majority of these policies and premiums. For the 24-year period 1978 to 12/31/02, claim payments by the program total approximately $11.6 billion. The difference between the amount that goes into the NFIP and the amount paid in claims should prompt every residential and commercial building owner to re-evaluate the price paid for protection.Flood Zone Correction, Inc. is the leading advocate for consumers and commercial building owners throughout the country, promoting fairness in the evaluation of flood risk and imposition of insurance requirements.
