Flood insurance reform calls for doubling coverage says NFIP chief
New York AP interview with Roy Wright, director of the National Flood Insurance Program, argues for policy changes before reauthorization. He stresses expanding coverage from 5 million to 10 million policies, simplifying deductibles, adding basement and additional living expense coverages, and speeding initial payments after floods. He urges mandatory FEMA registration after disasters and quick access to up to 10,000 dollars for insured survivors.

Iran loses tourism and business visas but can seek student and cultural exchange visas after extra scrutiny and Somali non immigrant visa applicants face added checks. The policy aims to curb perceived security risks while triggering appeals and a pending Supreme Court review.
