A new study has found that 41 million Americans are at risk from flooding rivers. This is more than three times the previous estimate which was 13 million people and was based on regulatory flood maps. The study also predicts that under potential population growth and development projections, more than 60 million Americans may be vulnerable to a 100-year flood by 2050. Given the recent rainfall totals and the prediction of a snowy winter, now might be the time to consider adding flood insurance to your portfolio, if you haven’t already.
