Getting Answers to Questions about the National Flood Insurance Program

Do you use the Answers to Questions about the NFIP booklet for your customers and for your own information? This publication has been recently updated. Answers to Questions about the NFIP is intended to acquaint the public with the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Despite the highly technical nature of the Program, there has been a deliberate effort to minimize the use of technical terms. This publication is designed for readers who do not need a detailed history or refined technical or legal explanations, but who do need a basic understanding of the Program and the answers to some frequently asked questions. Readers who need legal definitions should refer to the Standard Flood Insurance Policy and to NFIP and related regulations.

You can order this booklet and other items from the FEMA Distribution Center by calling 1-800-480-2520.
