Flood map changes could impact insurance rates : Oologah Lake ...

New Rogers? County flood maps could impact flood insurance rates.

The new Rogers? County flood maps, which include all of the county?s communities, take effect Tuesday, April 3. That gives those who haven?t yet purchased flood insurance time to get the best possible premiums to protect their property from potential flooding.

Current policy holders and those planning to purchase NFIP protection are strongly encouraged to contact their insurance agent or company to ensure that they have adequate coverage for building and contents that accounts for new flood risk data.

Those who purchase flood insurance prior to April 3 may be able to grandfather the current flood zone, thereby saving money on flood
insurance.

For more information on estimated rates for flood insurance, eligibility for grandfathering, and the Preferred Risk Policy extension, or to locate an agent in your area, visit www.floodsmart.gov.
