ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2014 AT 3 A.M. AND THEREAFTER - Taylor Rambo stands in front of his home in Burlington City, N.J. on Wednesday, March 19, 2014. If flooding were a real concern, he says he would not have built a bar in his basement. Yet he pays about $2,700 each year for flood insurance that he is required to have as part of his mortgage, and the amount is likely to rise quickly. "It worries me a lot because it makes my escrow go up and I can't afford it," said Rambo, who said he hasn't had any water in his basement in the 17 years he's owned his house.

ADVANCE FOR USE MONDAY, MARCH 24, 2014 AT 3 A.M. AND THEREAFTER - Realtor Bob Preston stands for a photograph looking towards the ocean on his property in Hampton, N.H. on Friday, March 21, 2014. Preston says he has lived on New Hampshire’s seacoast his entire life and his family has sold and rented properties there for decades. He’s never had a property flood but still pays for federally mandated flood insurance. Like thousands of others across New Hampshire whose flood insurance is subsidized by the government, the amount he pays is about to go up because of changes to the National Flood Insurance Program.
