How many Phoenix area homes are a flood risk? New data raises questions A new model shows that most Maricopa County properties required to have flood insurance may not face the level of risk determined by local and federal authorities. According to the Federal Emergency Management Agency, more than 35,000 Maricopa County properties have a 1% chance of annual flooding. But a nonprofit that enlisted dozens of scientists, engineers and researchers has reported that fewer than 600 properties are at such risk. The federal government uses a 1% annual chance to determine whether homeowners must buy flood insurance. That translates to about a 1-in-4 chance of flood over the lifetime of a 30-year-...

Tens of thousands of families who bought new homes in flood-risk areas are facing “crippling” financial costs, as they are ineligible for cover under a government-backed insurance scheme, a study has found. Research by the liberal conservative thinktank Bright Blue found that 70,000 homes had been built on land at the highest risk of flooding in England since 2009, including 20,000 that were not protected by flood defences. Homes built after 1 January 2009 are not eligible for insurance under Flood Re, a government scheme launched in 2015 with the aim that about 350,000 homeowners would have access to affordable cover. However, the scheme has been criticised – not least because tens of...

(TNS) — Laurie Futch has never put in a flood insurance claim in the 33 years she's lived in her Island Street home, but she pays about $900 a year for a policy that only insures the $32,000 she still owes on her mortgage.
