Louisiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Donelon said he is pushing state residents to reevaluate their insurance coverage with an eye to getting flood insurance.
"In the past year, the number of flood insurance policies sold in Louisiana has increased by 25 percent; however, only 31 percent of the state's households are covered," Mr. Donelon said.
His announcement today warned that "one of the biggest concerns statewide is that of adequate flood insurance since most homeowners insurance policies do not cover flooding."
