National Flood Insurance Program Town Hall with FEMA This Tuesday

Dear Neighbors,

I am pleased to announce that I will be co-hosting an event with State Representative Jim Murphy (District 133) bringing Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) representatives to West Houston this Tuesday, June 5th. I invite you and your neighbors to attend and meet with FEMA staff to discuss National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) claims issues and the continued recovery after Harvey. This is a great opportunity to meet with FEMA representatives who can answer your specific NFIP questions and provide valuable information about the rebuilding process as it continues in our community.

When:
Tuesday, June 5th, 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm

Where:
Memorial Church of Christ, 900 Echo Lane, Houston, Texas 77024

Who:
FEMA NFIP staff, Representative Jim Murphy, Representative Dwayne Bohac and other Houston elected officials

FEMA WILL be available to:

• answer general NFIP flood insurance claims questions (covered items, information about Increased Cost of Compliance Coverage, how to file an appeal, how to read your policy)

• provide resources to policyholders who need advocate-type services

• field inquiries over NFIP policies and communicate them directly to policyholder's carriers

• provide information about upcoming hurricane season preparation

• information on how to purchase flood insurance

FEMA will NOT be:

• adjudicating appeals

• determining coverage or making recommendations for payment

• selling flood insurance

I hope that this event will be hopeful to those impacted by Hurricane Harvey. It is an honor to serve you as your state representative.

Sincerely,

Dwayne Bohac
