Now that hurricane Idalia is hitting Florida, FEMA will be sending Waynesville's collection of mandatory flood insurance to Florida to rebuild.
The Waynesville "administrator" of the flood insurance program is the Town's Planning Department. How much would you trust our town to say how much each year our citizens pay in mandatory flood insurance and how much our town has ever received in payouts from FEMA flood insurance? THAT is the real brass tax analysis that needs to happen. If we're sending $5,000,000/year out of our town to rebuild Florida and we only once or twice had FEMA pay $50,000 in flood claims, then it's a CORRUPTED system that we ought not to participate. Risk is quantifiable and if areas didn't flood in 2005, they aren't going to flood. In other words, FEMA's worst case scenario of paying our town for flooding was in 2005. If they are collecting beyond that flood area, they are collecting too much!
The FEMA flood maps are wrong. They say 1 out of 100 years you can ride in a canoe from Clydes to the Waynesvill Inn. Nobody has ever seen that happen -- even in the worst 100-years floods of 2005.
Tell your elected representatives to opt out of the FEMA flood insurance program. It's hurting our town by increasing housing costs 20% and sending that 20% elsewhere.
Send your flood insurance payments to Florida!
