Now 11-thousand properties in Broome County are in flood hazard areas.
Since FEMA added 65-hundred more properties to their flood maps.
FEMA made up new draft flood maps for the federal, billion-dollar "Map Modernization" program.
They encourage residents to review the latest data.
When the maps become final in 2011, many properties on the maps are required to get flood insurance, and the premiums for those who already have insurance will increase.
Since the old maps are still in effect, if you purchase insurance now, FEMA officials say you can a get substantially reduced rate.
