FEMA is updating the National Flood Insurance Program's (NFIP) risk rating formula through the implementation of new pricing methodology. "Risk Rating 2.0" moves away from the antiquated binary approach of placing homes either in or out of the “100-year” floodplain and instead uses new modeling and updated data to assess the scale of risk for each individual property based on a range of variables. The methodology leverages industry best practices and cutting-edge technology to enable FEMA to deliver rates that are actuarily sound, equitable, easier to understand and better reflect a property’s flood risk.
PHASE I
New policies beginning Oct. 1, 2021, will be subject to the new rating methodology. Also beginning Oct. 1, existing policyholders eligible for renewal will be able to take advantage of immediate decreases in their premiums.
PHASE II
All remaining policies renewing on or after April 1, 2022, will be subject to the new rating methodology.
Our Bay Area Houston K-12 schools are working through a most unusual school year which has actually been a continuation of unprecedented efforts begun during the last school year. The pandemic has required education leaders, teachers, support staff, and especially students and their families to adapt to a decidedly different learning environment. However, throughout this time, they have all persevered. There have been "wins" and lots of challenges, but a clear path forward has been established as well. Click on the link below for a conversation with the superintendents of our area ISDs: Ms. Carla Voelkel, Dickinson ISD; Dr. Walter Jackson, La Porte ISD; Dr. DeeAnn Powell, Pasadena ISD; Mr. Thad Roher, Friendswood ISD; and Dr. Eric Williams, Clear Creek ISD.

Some good news for those considering flying. The quick summary:
“The risk of a passenger contracting COVID-19 while onboard appears very low. With only 44 identified potential cases of flight-related transmission among 1.2 billion travelers, that’s one case for every 27 million travelers. We recognize that this may be an underestimate but even if 90% of the cases were un-reported, it would be one case for every 2.7 million travelers. We think these figures are extremely reassuring. Furthermore, the vast majority of published cases occurred before the wearing of face coverings inflight became widespread,” said Dr. David Powell, IATA’s Medical Advisor.
IATA demonstrated the low incidence of inflight COVID-19 transmission with an updated tally of published cases.

Prepare now if you haven’t already. We could see two hurricanes in the Houston area next week.
...MARCO'S CENTER MOVING THROUGH THE YUCATAN CHANNEL...
A Tropical Storm Warning continues for...
* Province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba
* Cancun to Dzilam, Mexico
Tropical storm conditions are expected within the warning area in Cuba through this afternoon. Tropical storm conditions are also still possible today within the warning area along the northeastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service.
At 1 p.m. CDT, the center of Tropical Storm Marco was located about 90 miles (150 km) east-northeast of Cancun, Mexico. It's moving toward the north-northwest near 12 mph (19 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue through Sunday morning. A gradual turn toward the northwest and west-northwest is expected to begin Sunday afternoon and continue through Tuesday morning. On the forecast track, Marco's center will move into the southeastern Gulf of Mexico by this evening, move across the central Gulf of Mexico on Sunday, and then approach the central and northwestern Gulf coast on Monday and Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds are near 65 mph (100 km/h) with higher gusts. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the center. Strengthening is forecast to occur during the next day or two, and Marco is expected to become a hurricane later today or tonight. Weakening is forecast to occur on Monday and Tuesday.
Marco is expected to move across the central Gulf of Mexico as a hurricane Sunday and approach the central Gulf Coast on Monday. There is an increasing risk of impacts from storm surge, winds, and heavy rainfall from the upper Texas coast to Louisiana early next week, and interests there should monitor the progress of Marco, as storm surge, tropical storm, and/or hurricane watches could be issued later today.
Marco is expected to produce 1 to 4 inches of rain, with
isolated maximum amounts of 6 inches possible, across the eastern portions of the Mexican states of Quintana Roo and Yucatan, and across far western Cuba. This rainfall may result in areas of flash flooding.
The next complete advisory will be issued by NHC at 4 p.m. CDT - www.hurricanes.gov
