National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) to facilitate the availability of
flood insurance to those who have a
need to purchase such. The NFIP will
collect information from insurance
agents who will offer the ability to
purchase flood insurance as well as
from those interested in purchasing the
insurance policies so as to offer referral
information on how the coverage may
be obtained. If the information
collection were not performed, the
ability to offer respondents the
resources available by the NFIP would
be adversely affected.
FEMA
administers the National Flood
Insurance Program (NFIP) in response to
losses due to floods. The Flood Disaster
Protection Act of 1973, Congress
Findings and Declaration of Purpose,
Section 2(a)(6) finds that it is in the
public interest for persons already living
in flood prone areas to have an
opportunity to purchase flood insurance
and access to more adequate limits of
coverage in order to be indemnified for
their losses in the event of future flood
disasters. This collection will allow for
consumers to be educated about flood
insurance coverage and to assist them in
obtaining such coverage.
