Salt Lake City, Utah — America’s flood maps are falling behind a rapidly growing reality: flood disasters are escalating nationwide, exposing millions of households to rising risk. New national data from NOAA’s National Centers for Environmental Information (NCEI) shows a sharp escalation in the number of billion-dollar weather and climate disasters across the United States from 1980 to 2024. This includes the most common natural disaster, flooding. Yet many communities still rely on FEMA flood maps that have not been updated in years or decades, creating a widening gap between mapped risk and actual risk. “Flooding is evolving faster than FEMA’s mapping cycle,” said Brian Adamson, spokesperson for FloodPrice.com. “Homeowners who believe they’re ‘low risk’ based solely on FEMA maps m...

Vickie DeHart of Las Vegas writes to everyday people navigating pressure, overload, and unclear days. Las Vegas, NV, 11th February 2026, ZEXPRWIRE, This letter is for people who feel busy but not always effective. For those juggling work, responsibilities, and expectations while trying to keep things moving forward. I’ve spent decades in construction and real estate, industries where unclear days turn into costly problems. Over time, I’ve learned that most stress doesn’t come from the size of the work. It comes from a lack of clarity. “As I’ve learned, structure gives you freedom,” I often say. When days start without direction, everything feels heavier. Construction taught me that quickly. “There’s no hiding in this industry,” I’ve said before. “Either it works or it doesn’t.” The same...
