Resources For Coastal Storm Saturday
Prepare now for major coastal storm Saturday From Friday night to Saturday night, a major winter storm will impact the Northeast. You have probably heard that one is coming and perhaps some details. Regardless, at the MCC we are here to tell you how this may affect you and how to prepare: The Storm The Nor’easter will be the first blizzard the region has seen since 2018. This storm will also be a bombogenesis, also known as a bomb cyclone, which means as it passes by the storm rapidly intensifies. Some forecasts are calling for:-Up to 20+ inches of snow-Tides are mid-astronomical (higher than usual) and moderate coastal flooding is expected-Wind gusts possibly over 70 mph in coastal counties More will be available in days to come and may change as meteorologists learn more. The Impacts There will likely be impacts to communities in our region. In general, those impacts could be:-Damaging winds that could cause debris and loose items to become airborne-Areas prone to flooding will have a high likelihood of moderate flooding-The Saturday 8:00am and 9:00pm high tides are currently of most concern. -Waves will have time to build due to the winds and could be more impactful later in the day, especially in northeast facing communities and those with a large fetch.-This is anticipated to be a prolonged storm and the snow impacts will be significant […]

Risk Rating 2.0 First Take: Messaging Will be Key
In August, FEMA released rates for the highly anticipated National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) rating redesign Risk Rating 2.0, also called “Equity in Action”. Equity in Action’s more nuanced approach will no longer be based on flood zones or base flood elevation and instead employ a “graduated” rating system, evaluating factors such as distance to water, types of flood exposure, replacement cost, and other advanced elements. As FEMA launches the new rates, the highly anticipated roll-out pulls back the curtain on Equity In Action’s real world implications. For insureds, the new pricing methodology will result in premium increases for some, while others will see their premiums decrease. Considering the wide range of impacts resulting from the rating methodology change, FEMA, floodplain managers, agents and politicians must deliver clear and carefully crafted messaging to stakeholders so that Equity In Action’s promise of equity and fairness can be realized for everyone. In a recent sample of about fifty residential locations in New England, the average premium decrease under Equity In Action was about 28% against the “legacy” premiums, equaling about $887. These decreases take place immediately for the insured. Premium gainers saw an average increase of 47% over their legacy rates, or […]
