Description
For over 50 years the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has played a key role in helping Americans protect the lives they’ve built from floods. The program is a critical and dependable resource for homeowners and businesses nationwide. It plays that role by identifying flood risks and providing insurance coverage.
The NFIP was created by Congress in 1968 to reduce the socio-economic impact of flooding, as a response to the growing need for flood insurance. Over the years, the NFIP has grown and developed with the times. It has evolved to focus on increasing public awareness about flood risks and insurance coverage. By helping people understand their flood risk, the NFIP helps them make informed decisions about their coverage. The NFIP provides an essential service by offering flood insurance to all Americans. This is critically important in areas where private insurers are hesitant to provide coverage.
This course not only meets FEMA’s minimum training and education requirements, but goes beyond the minimum requirements by including useful information for agents to improve and better serve their clients.
