Commissioner Temple joined Newell Normand on WWL this morning to break down the critical issues surrounding the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and what it means for homeowners and buyers right now. Key Takeaways You Need to Know: • ⛔ No New NFIP Policies: The NFIP cannot issue any new policies or process renewal notices during the shutdown. • 🗓️ Closings Delayed: With an estimated 1,500 home closings a day nationwide requiring flood insurance (many right here in Louisiana), many real estate transactions have halted. • ✅ Your Current Policy is SAFE: If you have an existing NFIP policy, it remains in force until its expiration date. • 💰 Renewals Tip: If you have a renewal notice, pay it and send it in immediately—FEMA will honor the payment once the program is reauthorized. • 💡 Explore Private Options: If you are closing a home soon and need new coverage, contact your agent to explore private flood insurance options, which are not affected by the shutdown.
