National Flood Insurance Rate Change - Effective April 1, 2016!

 
FEMA, through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), provides the opportunity for homeowners, renters, and businesses to purchase flood insurance for financial protection against flooding. FEMA also works with communities to update and develop flood maps to inform the community of their current flood risk. These actions allow community members to take important steps to prepare for, and mitigate, flooding risk in their area.
 
FEMA announced plans to implement changes to the NFIP as mandated by the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 and the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act of 2014. Last October, FEMA advised stakeholders and interested parties of the April 1, 2016 implementation of the program's incremental rate increases required by law to continue the process to bring rates to full risk.
