In response to the damage caused by Hurricane Sandy, the Federal Emergency Management Agency is expected to increase the required heights of buildings, as well as expand the flood zones all along the New Jersey coast.
This storm caused extensive damage in the area, which costs the insurance companies a tremendous amount of money. The property and home owners located in this region need to be aware of this possibility, and plan for it if they are going to rebuild their properties.
The new building codes are expected to be much more strict and require much higher elevations on the New Jersey shoreline. If a property owner was to rebuild without taking that into account, it is thought that an average home in the area would see their home owners and flood insurance increase by as much as, $30,000 per year.
Neil Byrne, a construction official and certified flood plain manager for Sea Isle City was quoted by the Press of Atlantic City as saying “In all likelihood, they will change the building heights.”
