FEMA increases flood insurance rates in Southwest Florida due to improper rebuilding after Hurricane Ian.
FEMA is raising flood insurance rates in Southwest Florida due to communities' improper rebuilding after Hurricane Ian, causing residents to lose long-held flood insurance discounts. Lee County and four municipalities within it are calling the decision a "late, devastating blow" and are looking into legal recourse. FEMA states the discount loss is due to a large amount of unpermitted work, lack of documentation, and failure to monitor activity in special flood hazard areas.
