[StBernard] LRA Statement re Status of Road Home Housing Program

[Westley Annis]

hey westley,
 
just for your info, X zone is not a special zone, it is like being in a B or
C zone and you are not required to have flood insurance by lenders.  they
made this zone years ago when the flood maps changed last time.   i on the
other hand, would advise anyone in st. bernard to carry flood insurance no
matter what zone.  with the X, B or C, flood insurance is much cheaper than
an A zone.
 
thanks and good luck,

  So, you're saying Chalmette is IN the FLOOD PLAIN? ..thus getting an
approval of up to the maximum $150,000 if funds are approved?

In FEMA terms, if you are in an A or V zone, you are in a flood plain.
Anything else is not considered a flood plain, with the exception of X, I
think, which is a special zone for those who are on the waters edge.
