“Membership in these organizations is where the rubber meets the road,” states Dan Freudenthal, president of Flood Zone Correction, Inc. He continues, “ Florida property owners pay more than $616 million every year to maintain 1.8 million flood insurance policies through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). When you compare this to what they receive in NFIP claim payments, there’s a big difference between the $616 million Florida annually puts into the NFIP and the $62 million in average annual claim payments Florida receives from the NFIP. Our community affiliations present ideal forums to address the various constituencies on how flood zone correction can help property owners save money, improve the value of their real estate investments and assist them in making educated flood insurance decisions.”
