Pennsylvania River Towns Facing High Flood Insurance Costs

It’s no secret that Pennsylvania is home to many river towns, such as Wilkes-Barre. Obviously, these homes face an increased risk for flooding, causing their owners’ flood insurance to often be quite high. In fact, some homeowners in Pennsylvania river towns report paying more than $7000 per year for their flood insurance.
While one would think that residents of these towns would be jumping for joy at President Obama’s recent announcement of lowered insurance premiums for those who receive subsidies from the National Flood Insurance Program, they’re not getting too excited just yet. That’s because there is speculation that insurance premium rates will still rise for those in Pennsylvania flood zones—more than 34,000 people. The measure, they are saying, is just delaying what is to come.

Still, the lowered rates may cause some to temporarily take out flood insurance, in which case your business may not have enough professional insurance adjuster workers available.
