Warning Warning Warning You Can't Get Or Renew Flood Insurance!!!
Berry, Harry, and Nancy have canceled flood insurance!
FEMA, the Federal Agency responsible for all flood insurance has no authorization to insure your new home or renew your existing insurance.
This of course means no closings on properties in flood zones! Not only are you uninsured or about to be, when you are uninsured you just defaulted on your mortgage!
If you think this is bad this is the start of hurricane season!
Here is the message from FEMA!

NFIP Reauthorization Guidance
The NFIP will not be reauthorized by Congress by midnight of May 31, 2010. Therefore, the Program will experience a hiatus - a period without authority to:
issue new policies for which application and premium payment dates are on or after June 1, 2010, or
issue increased coverage on existing policies for which endorsement and premium payment dates are on or after June 1, 2010, or
issue renewal policies for which the renewal premium is received by the company on or after June 1, 2010, and after the end of the 30-day renewal grace period, until Congress reauthorizes the Program.
While awaiting Congressional reauthorization, FEMA is issuing the guidance contained in the attached bulletin (PDF 92KB, TXT 21KB). Within this bulletin, is a set of Frequently Asked Questions concerning NFIP authorization to help you in communicating with your insurance agents and policyholders.
The hiatus period is expected to end soon. We will inform you when the NFIP is again authorized to sell new policies, issue increase coverage on existing policies, or issue renewal policies.
