Hurricane Safety Tip
We are in peak hurricane season, and it is imperative that all members and their clients prepare in case of emergency. 
In the event that an evacuation is necessary, remember to empty your fridge and freezer, as the food can spoil and ruin your appliances.

What You (and Your Clients) Need to Know About Federal Disaster Assistance and Flood Insurance

Property owners or renters who receive Federal financial disaster assistance after a Presidentially-declared flood disaster, such as last year's flooding event in Baton Rouge and the surrounding areas, may be required to obtain and maintain flood insurance on the property.   

The recipient of disaster relief funding who fails to "obtain and maintain" flood insurance may be ineligible for future disaster assistance as well as be required to repay disaster assistance previously received.
