New flood maps raise alarms about higher insurance costs - Sun Sentinel

This is the first I have heard the exact deadline extension date of February 28th. The previous deadline was November 30th. Click title for link to the Sun-Sentinel article.

Federal emergency managers have agreed to extend the deadline for submitting information until Feb. 28, which will be followed by a lengthy review and appeals process, in effect delaying new maps from taking effect for many months, possibly beyond next year.
The delay brings temporary relief to homeowners who claim their properties should not be designated as risky because they have never flooded -- even after tropical storms and heavy rains.
