 National Flood Insurance Program  Flood Misconceptions and Facts  Flood Insurance Basics  Resources for You Presentation Overview

The National Flood Insurance Program

 Everyone is at risk for flooding  Anywhere it can rain, it can flood  Just a few inches can cause tens of thousands of dollars in damage Why Flood Insurance?

 Provides flood insurance to homeowners, renters, and business owners  Community must participate in the program and enforce sound floodplain management ordinances  Written by insurance agencies through their carrier or direct with the NFIP (rates and coverage are the same for all agents)  Created by Congress in 1968  Administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)

What Is a Flood?

A Flood Defined Inundation of two or more acres of normally dry land or of two or more properties (one of which is your property) from:  Overflow of inland or tidal waters;  Unusual, rapid accumulation or runoff of surface waters from any source;  Mudflow; or  Collapse or sinking of land along the shore of a lake or similar body of water as a result of erosion or undermining caused by waves or currents of water exceeding anticipated levels that result in a flood.

Flood Misconceptions and Facts

 Misconception: “I don’t live in a flood zone.”  Fact: Everyone lives in a flood zone.  Floods are the #1 natural disaster in the United States.  If it can rain, it can flood.  Risk does not stop at a line on a flood map. Misconception #1

 Misconception: “I’m already covered—my homeowners policy covers flooding.”  Fact: Most insurance policies do not cover flooding; only flood insurance covers flood damage. Misconception #2

 Misconception: “If a flood happens, disaster assistance will cover me.”  Fact: Disaster assistance facts:  Only available if the President declares a Federal disaster.  You must qualify.  Typically given in the form of a loan that must be repaid, with interest. Misconception #3

Flood Insurance Basics

 Single-peril policy  Pays Replacement Cost on single-family, primary residences if insured to at least 80 percent of its replacement cost  As much as $250,000 in coverage  Pays Actual Cash Value (depreciated cost) on second homes and underinsured homes  Contents coverage is not automatically included in your policy (with the exception of a Preferred Risk Policy)  As much as $100,000 in coverage  Only pays Actual Cash Value Three Basic Facts of a Standard Flood Policy

 Flood Zone  High-risk: Flood insurance required if mortgage is from a federally regulated or insured lender (Zones A & V).  Moderate- to low-risk: Flood insurance is not required. But while the chance of flooding is reduced, it is not eliminated (Zones B, C, & X).  Elevation for high-risk areas  Coverage and deductibles  Date of Construction Key Rating Elements

 Typically, there is a 30-day waiting period for a flood insurance policy to go into effect  Exceptions:  Flood Insurance is required by a federally regulated and insured lender—0 days  Wildfire 30-day waiting period exception—0 days  Initial purchase of flood insurance as the result of a map revision—1 day Waiting Periods

 Policy for homes in moderate- or low-risk areas:  Lower cost policy  Policy includes both building and contents  Contents-only coverage is available for renters Preferred Risk Policy (PRP)

 Restores subsidized rates for buildings constructed before the first Flood Insurance Rate Map became effective (pre-FIRM)  Allows subsidized rates to continue following sale or purchase of pre- FIRM properties  Rates for pre-FIRM non-primary residences will continue increasing 25 percent each year until reaching full-risk rates  Rates for pre-FIRM business buildings will also continue increasing to full-risk rates  Other subsidized rates will increase more gradually over time  Full-risk rates are property-specific and elevation-rated Recent Legislation

 Buyers in high-risk areas  Most lenders require flood insurance  Request the seller’s Elevation Certificate  Get a flood insurance quote well before closing  Sellers in high-risk areas  If receiving a subsidized rate, transfer it to the new owner  Consider mitigation projects that will reduce the flood risk—and, in turn, reduce the premium—before putting a property on the market  Provide an Elevation Certificate For more information, visit FEMA.gov/flood-insurance-reform. Recent Legislation

 Most homeowners insurance does not cover flood damage.  Typically, there is a 30-day waiting period for policies to go into effect.  Anywhere it can rain, it can flood.  In high-risk areas, you have at least a 1 in 4 chance of flooding over the course of a 30-year mortgage.  Moderate- to low-risk areas account for more than 20 percent of NFIP claims. Key Points for Clients

Check with the community floodplain management office for more information on mitigation activities, such as  Floodproofing  Installing flood vents  Elevating:  Home  Equipment and appliances (e.g., heating, cooling washer, dryer) Reduce the Risk, Reduce the Cost
