Church is a building official.

Funny this is being said when FEMA said that no money would got out on loans or flood policies for new buyers if the buyer could not show the property was above current flood stages and that all cities, countries and states have proper drainage. Due poor use of money

Interesting. I thought if city/county/ state took steps to build flood protection and lower the risk of flooding then FEMA would increase payment. Has the city build levees or something to mitigate flooding?
