WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF MY PROPERTY CHANGES FROM A HIGH-RISK TO A LOWER- RISK DESIGNATION?
When a building moves to a low- or moderate-risk area, there is no longer a federally mandated requirement to purchase flood insurance. However, the risk has only been reduced, not removed. Flood insurance is still recommended. Upon the adoption of the new maps, you may be eligible for a lower-cost Preferred-Risk Policy (PRP). Through your insurance agent, it is simple to submit a PRP application to avoid any gaps in your flood coverage.
