In addition to seeing likely Nema maps, you can google Surging Seas: Risk Zone Map and Fema maps on flood plain. Number of maps and interactive and navigate to various areas including Bahamas close to Florida.

There are a number of flood zone maps for you to google. Some interactive maps show areas under 1 foot water and upwards. Whatever data is on these maps may be dated because of changes to terrain. Altering areas with construction elevated, roads, ditches changes what you may be looking at in terms of real estate investment.
Major concerns is that banks hold as collateral for Mortgages over property in flood zones billions of dollars.

Mr. Roberts seems to have been in cohoots with the Govt. in his bag to be sold and BOTH have failed to understand the present poor people and real life circumstances.

Poor people are the ones with some 5,000 homes without electricity. Thousands more are shutting off lights to reduce electricity bill which they put something on bill to keep it on and have to find extra $30.for BPL poor who are charged across the board seems even same as industrial users. Poor people has big part of VAT reducing meagre funds. Poor levels are higher.

Some 1Billion dollars annually in VAT to Govt reduces persons disposable income and worse effect to poor. Poor is poorer and they count every cent to obtain basics. Before hurricane 1 in 8 people did not know whwre the next meal coming from. Now the situation is worse even Mr. Roberts with years of business experience misjudged.

Good point as queries arose with pledged funds to Haiti's as to total amounts received.

Along with Bahamian pledges the Bahamian gov't should have explored some of the Debts Forgiven by some foreign gov'ts loans owed.

The entire nation suffers when the electorate gets govt kicked out after a 5 year term. The time is very limited to be getting your own platform results and compounding dealing with extinguishing problems by previous govt. whose creators go not go to jail.

Nation is better off with getting hard problems resolved and new solutions to uplift nation with longer 10 year period.

Opposition talking Over The Hill Initiatives have failed by efforts Govt trying.

The Opposition Leader must look at heself as a CoConspiritor of this because he and 24 some MP's previous Gov't went against the lawfully documented Majority of Voting Citizens on number houses gambling NO to it and then overseeing da proliferation of Gambling Number Houses all over the Urban areas, across, next to, from, longside, Churches, Schools. All dese loudly coloured, imposing, freshly painted up, highly advertising outlets, attention luring, enticing slogans now than ever before in history taking some eye popping $500M in revenues from all dese areas. All this profits Numerous times over extracted than what gives back, taking from the poorest poor areas and into the hands of some dozen. And small fraction taxes in dispute held up from being paid to govt.
Other matter for pushing poor even poorer in the grass roots now urban renewal areas is the Opposition Leader and party imposing the big whopping regressive VAT 7.5% on these Over The Hill grassroots communities. Other impact is shenanigans monies and help allocated down not reaching poorest most neediest documented by indepemdent agency.

Time nuff that the Opposition Leader take the Top honours for putting the present poorer than poor before in these very Over The Hill grassroots communities.

Mudda just talks his mind.

Not referring to Mudda but many of us have seen a lot from top to bottom, have seen, experienced absolutely gut wrenching wrongful things, egregious, blatent wrongs, have seem and been victims of blatent wrongs, victimizations. Intentional wilful actions and have hurt inflicted and noone to resolve. Lots of people are upset just trying for a better nation and so far knowing potential changers are both sides same coin.

Bahamian saying "catching hell, calling it a good time" needs revising.!!!!!
