1 National Flood Insurance Program Making Sense of April 2019 Changes
2 Foreword The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) provides an important means for property owners to protect themselves financially from damages caused by flooding. Since the NFIP s inception, Congress updates legislation to help strengthen the program, ensure its fiscal soundness and inform its mapping and insurance rate-setting through expert consultation, reports and studies. Considering the major flooding events that have struck our nation, NFIP reauthorization, and ongoing flood map changes, we understand that navigating flood insurance can be complex. Our NFIP ebook series is designed for our WYO carrier partners and insurance agents to help you make sense of recent changes so you can help your clients make informed decisions. Be sure to refer to WYO Memorandum #18021a and the NFIP Flood Insurance Manual for official policy information and guidelines. It is our goal that by helping you gain a better understanding of the NFIP program you can continue to make a difference in your clients lives as they protect what matters most.
