NFIP Transformation and Risk Rating 2.0

FEMA is focused on building a culture of preparedness by closing the insurance gap. Recognizing that purchasing flood insurance can be confusing and time-consuming, the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is redesigning its risk rating plan to improve the policyholder experience. We are committed to a NFIP that people value and trust; that is fair, understandable, and less complex to navigate.
