Zone Definitions:

The current zones (effective 2006) can be looked up by street address here (sorry - can't figure out how to link to DTJC map):
https://msc.fema.gov/webapp/wcs/stores ... catalogId=10001&langId=-1

If you weren't in a Zone V or A before, and you will be under the new map, then you'll have to purchase mandatory flood insurance (whether or not you were flooded by Sandy).

There is very little land left that is NOT in V or A under the new map. Each little 15'x80' parcel paying $1,500/yr. Cha-ching!

Add that on top of your re-val tax bill to your mortgage escrow amount!

Not sure what the best thread was to post this under, and hopefully this is not a repost.

A fitting "reactionary" measure, I suppose. A day late and a dollar short for those of us with houses that were not in Zone A and yet were flooded anyway. So now after paying for damages out of pocket, we'll be walloped with more insurance premiums in anticipation of the next 500-yr flood. I guess FEMA needs to make back their money somehow.

We did a Christening for my daughter at The Embankment on 10th Street last year on a Sunday afternoon. Same size party. Worked out great. Highly recommended.
