SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
is codified at 42 U.S.C. 4001, et seq. and is authorized by Public Law
90-448 (1968) and expanded by Public Law 93-234 (1973). The National
Flood Insurance Act of 1968 requires that the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) provide flood insurance at full actuarial
rates reflecting the complete flood risk to structures built or
substantially improved on or after the effective date for the initial
Flood Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) for the community, or after December
31, 1974, whichever is later, so that the risk associated with
buildings in flood-prone areas are borne by those located in such areas
and not by the taxpayers at large. In accordance with Public Law 93-
234, the purchase of flood insurance is mandatory when Federal or
federally related financial assistance is being provided for
acquisition or construction of buildings located, or to be located,
within FEMA-identified special flood hazard areas of communities that
are participating in the NFIP. When flood damage occurs to insured
property, information is collected to report, investigate, negotiate,
and settle the claim.
