FEMA (the Federal Emergency Management Association), which is under DHS (the Department of Homeland Security) has just released new flood maps. These maps are critical to insurance companies and any changes in them will affect all home owners and commercial building owners (and tenants) who live in any of the changed areas. Areas that are newly considered flood areas, or whose flood ratings have been increased will see at the very least, increases in their insurance and possibly losing their insurance in others.
The website where you can view this information is at FloodSmart.gov. As of this writing, it is being flooded (pardon the pun) with page hits because I cannot get a response from their servers.
