I. Notice of Special Flood Hazard
We are giving you this notice to inform you that the building or manufactured home, proposed as security for the loan for which you have applied, is or will
be located in an area that has been identified by the Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as a special flood hazard area. Refer to
FEMA's Flood Insurance Rate Map or the Flood Hazard Boundary Map for the following community:
. This
area has at least a I -percent chance of being flooded in any given year. The risk of exceeding the I -percent chance increases with time periods longer than
one year. For example, during the life of a 30-year mortgage, the risk of a flood in a special flood hazard area is at least 26 percent.
Federal law allows a lender and applicant or borrower to jointly request the Director of FEMA to review the determination of whether the property proposed
as security for the loan is located in a special flood hazard area. If you would like to make such a request, please contact us for further information.
II. Flood Insurance Purchase Requirements
Federal law will not allow us to provide federal financial assistance in special flood hazard areas in communities which are not participating in the National
Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). However, the property you have proposed as security for the loan is located in a community which does participate in the
NFIP. Federal law will allow us to make your loan, if you purchase flood insurance. The flood insurance must be maintained for the life of the loan.
Flood insurance coverage under the NFIP may be purchased through an insurance agency who will obtain the policy either directly through the NFIP or
through an insurance company that participates in the NFIP.
At a minimum, flood insurance purchased must cover the lesser of. (1) The outstanding principal amount of the loan; or (2) The maximum amount of
coverage allowed for the type of property under the NFIP.
If, at any time during the term of the loan, it is determined that the building or manufactured home and any personal property securing the loan is not covered
by flood insurance or is covered by less than the required amount of insurance, you shall be notified to obtain such insurance at your expense. If you fail to
purchase such insurance within 45 days, such insurance shall be purchased on your behalf and you may be charged for the cost of premiums and fees incurred
in the purchase of the insurance.
III. Federal Disaster Relief Assistance
Federal disaster relief assistance (usually in the form of a low interest loan) may be available for damages incurred if your community's participation in the
NFIP is in accordance with NFIP requirements. However, if your community's participation in the NFIP is discontinued, properties located in the community
will not be eligible for Federal disaster relief assistance in the event of a Federally declared flood disaster.
