RUIDOSO The 30-day waiting period waiver for purchase of National Flood Insurance is fast approaching the communities surrounding the Little Bear fire.
The deadline to apply for flood insurance under NFIP is Tuesday.
Any policies written after Tuesday's deadline are subject to the standard 30-day waiting period.
Flash floods, particularly common after wildfires, can occur within minutes after the onset of a rainstorm. Even areas that are not traditionally flood-prone are at risk due to changes to the landscape caused by fire.
Citizens whose communities participate in the NFIP are eligible to purchase NFIP flood insurance.
Participating communities are: Lincoln County, Ruidoso, Ruidoso Downs, Carrizozo and Capitan. Participating communities agree to adopt and enforce ordinances that meet or exceed FEMA requirements to reduce the risk of flooding. As a result, flood insurance premium rates are discounted.
For information about NFIP visit http://floodsmart.gov or call (800) 427-2419.
