July marks the third anniversary of the 2021 disaster declaration in southeast Michigan, and FEMA is reminding flood survivors who received a temporary Group Flood Insurance Policy (GFIP) of the need to purchase an individual flood insurance policy. The three-year GFIP will expire in September 2024, so policyholders must plan now to switch to a standard flood insurance policy to ensure continuous flood insurance coverage.
