When FEMA re-drew Long Island’s flood map in the summer of 2009, many on Long Island's south shore saw an increase in their home insurance rates. According to WSHA trustee Phil Franco, being insured before the map change allowed homeowners to be “grandfathered in” and their rates would not rise. Mr. Franco indicated that this provision was not widely publicized and for those not grandfathered in with the low rates, must acquire private insurance at a higher rate.
