    blue right-pointing arrow National Flood Insurance Program (FEMA) - In 1968, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in response to the rising cost of taxpayer funded disaster relief for flood victims and the increasing amount of damage caused by floods. The NFIP makes Federally-backed flood insurance available in communities that agree to adopt and enforce floodplain management ordinances to reduce future flood damage. National Flood Insurance is available in more than 18,000 communities across the United States and it’s territories. (Added: 23-Oct-1998 Hits: 571)  [Spider URL]"
