Flood Zone Correction, Inc.’s Message to Property Owners: Know Your Flood Risk!

The 2007 Hurricane Season Begins June 1st

(May 30, 2007 - West Palm Beach, FL) -Flood Zone Correction, Inc. (FZC), the nation’s first flood zone correction company,urges all property owners to know their true flood risk to ensure their homes and buildings are adequately insured and to efficiently allocate their insurance dollars.  The 2007 hurricane season begins June 1st and experts predict no less than 13 named storms including seven hurricanes, three of which will be major.

“Now’s the time to review your insurance policies,” states Dan Freudenthal, president of Flood Zone Correction, Inc. He continues, “Property owners at high risk of flooding may want to secure additional flood coverage, whereas property owners at low risk of flooding may benefit from reallocating flood premium dollars to cover high windstorm deductibles, debris removal and new landscaping after devastating weather events.”

Freudenthal further cautions all citizens about a false sense of security during storm season. “Many homes and buildings stand in harm’s way because of outdated, inaccurate FEMA flood maps, as well as, flood control systems (levees, dikes, floodgates or floodwalls) in desperate need of maintenance and repair. We remind property owners that flood maps merely paint a broad picture of an area and many have not been updated for years.  Equally important, if you have real estate assets in the proximity of a flood control system, be diligently aware of factors such as the system’s age, operation and inspection record.”
