I, too, want to focus on a particular issue relating to the operation of the property tax. I am concerned about properties that have been flooded in the past or which face the risk of flooding in the future. There are hundreds of such homes within my constituency and I am aware that this is also an issue nationwide. These houseowners cannot get insurance and are in a situation where the market valuation of their property is very low. In situations where a property has been flooded in the past and runs the risk of being flooded again, what valuation should somebody put on that property?
