The
National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) is codified as 42 U.S.C. 4001, et
sec. 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) provides flood insurance at full
actuarial rates with limited exceptions
for certain structures 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, and negotiate in order to
settle the claim.
The NFIP Appeals Process
Section 205 of The Bunning-BereuterBlumenauer Flood Insurance Reform
Act (FIRA) of 2004, Public Law 108–
264, requires the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) to
establish by regulation an additional
process for the appeal of decisions of
flood insurance claims issued through
the National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP). Consequently, FEMA published
an interim final rule in May 2006 and
a final rule in October 2006 codifying
into regulation what was previously an
existing informal process to handle
appeals regarding decisions related to
coverage, or claims under the NFIP.
