From the Miami Herald: FEMA to Florida cities hit by hurricanes: Rebuild higher or lose your flood insurance.

“FEMA announced that starting next year, Fort Myers Beach residents will no longer get a 25% discount on their flood insurance — an average increase of about $300 per resident— because FEMA found that rebuilding efforts from previous storms weren’t good enough. And if the town makes any future mistakes in the rebuilding process from this year’s double whammy of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, residents could lose federal flood insurance altogether.”w
