Fairfax approves one-year flood insurance program

Published



The Fairfax County Board of Supervisors has approved a flood insurance program that would pay for a year of coverage for its most flood-ravaged community.

Under the program approved Monday, the county would reimburse some residents in Huntington for the cost of FEMA’s flood insurance. Swift–moving floodwaters from nearby Cameron Run, which swamped about 160 homes in a single night late last June, devastated the community last summer. Worst hit were homes along Cameron Run and Fenwick Drive, which sustained millions in property damage after a wall of putrid water rushed into basements and first floors.
