       I heard the topic of Flood Insurance is becoming quite popular
       in areas around the Erie Canal these days...Could it be due to
       the recent ECNA conversations around Earthen Embankment Dams
       being slowly uncovered with the NY Canal Corporation's Earthen
       Embankment Integrity Program work going on all around the area?
       Nah...it's clear case of folks finally understanding there
       "could" be an impact to our wallets with all of this Embankment
       Dam Remediation.
       Hopefully the very FACT that the EEIP work going on along the
       Erie works to actually improve the safety factors of the Erie
       Canal should be an argument they can be used if FEMA comes
       knocking on NYPA's door soon. The work of clearing dams is
       helping to minimize possible root-based piping seepage and also
       enable proper inspection and repair of current dam gouges &
       blowdowns... all factors that end up causing people to GET flood
       insurance who live below mismanaged earthen dams.
       But since Flood Insurance matters to many Erie Canal Neighbors,
       here's some of the best websites & information the ECNA has
       found to give you a rough idea how Flood Insurance works. It's
       based on FEMA Flood Ratings, which will also be covered below.
       Finally a great deal depends on how high the MAIN floor of you
       home is above the Base Elevation (ground level) and also the
       relationship to possible flood inundation mapping. Whats' really
       nice... FEMA has a nifty tool for you to use that estimates
       Flood Insurance Cost... you can find the link to the website
       after the 3 pictures... Please comment and share your thoughts
