FEMA extends Flood Insurance renewal grace period for Hurricane Helene victims to Nov 26.

FEMA has extended the flood insurance renewal grace period until November 26 for residents in seven states impacted by Hurricane Helene, allowing those with lapsed policies to regain coverage for storm-related damages. The National Flood Insurance Program, the main source of flood insurance for homes, typically offers a 30-day renewal window. Notably, only about 1% of homeowners in the hardest-hit areas had flood insurance prior to the disaster.
