Abstract: FEMA previously used the Community Assistance Contact (CAC) and the Community Assistance Visit (CAV) to make a comprehensive assessment of a community's floodplain management program. Through this assessment, FEMA assisted the community to understand the NFIP's requirements and implement effective flood loss reductions measures. Communities can achieve cost savings through flood mitigation actions by way of insurance premium discounts and reduced property damage. The CAV and CAC processes have been updated recently to the NFIP Compliance Audit process which aims to do a more efficient, consistent and transparent job of assessing the community’s floodplain management program, providing them with the needed technical assistance to improve it, and documenting the results for data analysis.
