The new Risk Rating 2.0 system from the U.S. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) will raise rates for 77% of policyholders, according to a new study from QuoteWizard. FEMA sells almost all of the nation’s flood insurance coverage through its National Flood Insurance Program and requires businesses that own property in high-risk flood areas to have flood insurance if they also have a federally backed mortgage. The new risk rating could result in more flood insurance policies being issued to help protect people and their businesses against flood devastation.
