[FONT="]Need You to Take Action to Keep Flood Insurance Affordable![/FONT]
The US Senate is expected to vote this week on the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act, S. 1846 that was introduced by NJ Senator Menendez in December.
S. 1846 is a version of S. 1610 and would delay for four years certain premium increases put forth in the Biggert-Waters Act until FEMA can complete its affordability study and Congress can consider the recommendations of the study. This is common sense legislation; Congress and FEMA should understand the ramifications of the Biggert-Waters Act before implementing it. If this legislation is not implemented, homeowners and business owners across America will see dramatic, unaffordable flood insurance premium increases when they lose "grandfathering" under new maps.
Senator Hagan has been supportive of the delay; Senator Burr has maintained his support for the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and has not been receptive to making changes to the law.

Below is a template email to send to your Senator urging their support for this critical legislation:
[FONT="]Dear Senator X – [/FONT]
[FONT="]This week, the Senate will begin proceedings on S. 1846, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act. I urge you to vote YES on cloture and YES on final passage of this critical legislation. This is common sense legislation; Congress and FEMA should understand the ramifications of this law before implementing it. If this legislation is not implemented, homeowners and business owners across America will see dramatic, unaffordable flood insurance premium increases, even for properties with no history of flooding and those that built exactly as the government told them. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Again, I urge you to vote YES on cloture and YES on final passage of S. 1846, the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act. [/FONT]
[FONT="]Thank you – [/FONT]
