Report Description:
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is not adequately managing severe repetitive loss (SRL) properties covered by the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). FEMA has not established an effective program to reduce or eliminate damage to SRL properties and disruption to life caused by the repeated flooding. Primarily, FEMA does not have reliable, accurate information about SRL properties. Secondly, FEMA’s Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, which aims to mitigate flood damage for NFIP policyholders, provides neither equitable nor timely relief for SRL applicants. We made three recommendations to FEMA to ensure the accuracy of the SRL list, as well as equitable and timely distribution of mitigation funding, and promoting the use of National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Increased Cost of Compliance coverage. FEMA concurred with all three of the recommendations
