Seminar Overview
The
seminar provides an overview of how the National Flood Insurance Program
works from the standpoint of the local community officials and engineering
consultants who must comply with the program. An introduction to the
program is provided, along with details of how flood insurance studies are
performed, how the studies are used in the program, and how study results
can be revised as needed. The seminar slide shows and lectures are based
on the book Flood Plain Management: A Guide to the National Flood
Insurance Program for Engineers and Local Officials by Roy D. Dodson,
P.E.
The
National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a federal program enabling
property owners to purchase insurance protection against losses from
flooding. This insurance is designed to provide an alternative to disaster
assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings
and their contents caused by floods. The NFIP is administered by the
Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local
communities and the federal government. The local community agrees to
implement and enforce measures to reduce future flood risks to new
construction in special flood hazard areas. In return, the federal
government agrees to make flood insurance available within the community
as a financial protection against flood losses which do occur.
