With the possibility of a disturbance from the tropical system headed towards the Gulf Coast, use the NFIP flood insurance and floodplain management resources below to help before, during and after a damaging event. • Arkansas Floodplain Management Section: Call 501-682-1611 to be connected to our floodplain management specialists• What to Do Before a Flood: www.floodsmart.gov/community• Is it too late to purchase flood insurance? It could be. Generally there is a 30-day waiting period for policies to go into effect and there is a flood in progress exclusion. Check with your insurance agent though, because there are a few exceptions including no waiting period if you purchase flood insurance while making, increasing, extending, or renewing your mortgage loan and a 1-day waiting period if a home or business is newly designated to be in the high-risk flood area and you purchase flood insurance within the 13-month period following a map update. • What if my NFIP policy just expired? If your NFIP flood insurance policy (including a Group Flood Insurance Policy) just expired, contact your insurance company immediately to renew your policy (or for recently expired GFIP-holders, purchase a Standard Flood Insurance Policy). Claims for losses that occur in a 30-day grace period will be honored, provided that the full renewal premium is paid within 30 days of the policy expiration date. Lapsed policies (expired policies after the grace period) may cause you to lose any discounted rates you have been receiving and you may be subject to a new 30-day waiting period for coverage to go into effect. ...

Due to damages caused by flooding, authorities in several counties -Desha, Arkansas, Lincoln, Drew, Bradley and Lonoke, thus far- have locally declared a disaster for their areas. They have not requested assistance from ADEM at this time. However, ADEM area coordinators are in close contact with local coordinators, emergency management and other authorities as they assess damages. With more rain expected across the state over the next two days, we could experience more flooding in additional areas. Please take precautions, especially if you are in areas prone to flooding. And as always we remind you never drive into standing water. Be safe Arkansas. ... See MoreSee Less
