If you worked in the insurance business in Monroe County, you would know that flood insurance was required if you had a mortgage. However, if your house was built after (not certain the year, but it was 60’s or 70’s) even if you had food insurance, your first floor was not covered.


May it be the fact that the government built levees and dams failed the New Orleans population which anticipated a certain level of protection and because of the vast disaster, FEMA went to work.

In your situation, the possibility of flooding is a constant with no dam or levee protection and the scope of damage was more confined. I don’t know and perhaps you should pose that question with your local representative and you will have a defined answer.
