As Democrats and Republicans in Washington continue to haggle over government debt and spending, federal flood insurance is among the programs facing disruption.
Without renewed funding, a government shutdown would begin after the end of the fiscal year tomorrow, Sept. 30, and authorization for the National Flood Insurance Program would expire then.
If the NFIP is not reauthorized, NFIP claims for existing policies would still be paid, but the agency could not sell any new policies or renew existing ones.
