FEMA Floods Are Draining Away Money The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) gives homeowners and organizations the opportunity to build in areas that otherwise would possibly be too high of a risk for the individual to take on without government assistance. With this being a taxpayer-supported program, people who choose to live in these areas are causing homeowners, who know better, money and grief. While FEMA can’t control flooding, they can control flood insurance for property owners. Through a variety of facts and examples many people, including myself, have begun to question FEMA’s policy on flood insurance in flood plains. A common disaster dealt with by the Federal Emergency Management Agency could be prevented if they were to update their maps, and that is flooding. Flooding can be very destructive and there is little that can be done to prevent this. FEMA deals with all kinds of disasters, all of the time and the insurance that goes along with those. They are usually dealing with floods, because they are the most common. There is not a certain place that floods occur, but there are places where they occur more often. Along the coasts there is more water, but “flooding can occur at any flood, people, insurance, fema, areas, prone, floods, living, prevent, need, maps, should, know, flooding, property, plains, live, homes, federal, realize, money, just, homeowners, even, after, without, occur, don’t, disasters, damage, control, agency, year, way, water, themselves
