Reauthorization of the National Flood Insurance Program

Congressional testimony
Written By Daniel Kaniewski

Flood risk in the US is systematically underestimated, contributing to gaps in the insurance coverage and the resilience measures that can help communities minimize and recover from losses. Federal policies and programs, including the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), are essential, but state and local officials and homeowners play essential roles in flood resilience.
