FLOOD INSURANCE
Like all other seaside communities, Southampton Village has been subject to major storms. Updated and accurate risk information is important for homeowners to consider. Homeowners in a floodplain cannot get a mortgage without flood insurance, which is underwritten by the federal government and available at set rates from any insurance broker. Recently the Federal Government (FEMA) released revised flood maps. These interactive maps are in advanced detail that actually show streets and specific buildings.
