TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (The News Service of Florida) - Property owners who suffered flooding damage from Hurricane Hermine will have extra time to file claims through the National Flood Insurance Program.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency agreed this week to extend the deadline for filing claims to Jan. 31.
The deadline had been set for Dec. 31, but Florida Insurance Commissioner David Altmaier asked for the extension, according to the state Office of Insurance Regulation.
Hermine, the first hurricane to hit Florida in more than a decade, made landfall south of Tallahassee and swept across North Florida in early September.
