From the desk of Eileen Blocker…

Did you know that you might be in a new flood zone? Flood Maps are changing, oh yes they are!

You can always check the flood maps on www.mappingtherisk.com (and I haven’t checked it out yet myself) but it is in our wonderful Nefar News this month. These maps do not come into effect until 2010. There is also a number to call for info 630-CITY during the week to answer questions.

As Nefar News says: “Every home and commercial building in Jacksonville has some risk of flooding – but the risk varies, sometimes even in the same neighborhood….”

But remember to share with your customers that if they don’t have flood insurance, whether or not they are in a flood zone, if there is flood damage they are not covered under regular homeowner’s policies!
