What is more likely is that insurance providers decided to ignore the work and charge high premia. I will move on, as I will not get a proper answer. The hardship being caused to people is significant. Not only have they been flooded, but the damage done by being unable to get insurance or sell their homes is immeasurable. The IIF needs to revert to us with strong and legitimate answers. The flood measures were designed by the best international experts, yet insurance providers claim that the standards are inadequate.
