As of Feb. 1, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has paid out more than $115 million in flood claims in Louisiana in response to the 2020 hurricane season.
FEMA reported that 35% of Louisiana NFIP flooding claims came from policyholders in moderate to low-risk flood zones.
The federal emergency assistance agency is reminding property and business owners, as well as renters in moderate- to low-risk areas, of the availability of lower-cost flood insurance known known as Preferred Risk Policies (PRPs).
