W H E R E A S , floods are the most common and destructive natural disaster in the
United States and Florida; and
WHEREAS, Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program ("NFIP") in
1968 to make affordable flood insurance available to homeowners, renters and business
owners in exchange for using FEMA generated Flood Insurance Rate Maps for floodplain
management by participating communities; and
WHEREAS, the Flood Disaster Act of 1973 requires the purchase of flood
insurance as a condition of receiving any form of federal or federal-related financial
assistance for acquisition or construction purposes with respect to the insurance of
buildings; and
WHEREAS, the NFIP provides affordable flood insurance to property owners by
encouraging local governments to adopt and enforce floodplain and water management
regulations, best practices and techniques; and
WHEREAS, these mitigation efforts reduce and prevent flooding on new and
improved structures, thereby saving lives and reducing injuries, reducing economic
losses, maintaining and protecting critical infrastructure, and reducing the liability borne
by local governments and their elected officials; and
WHEREAS, flooding is a serious risk in Florida due to the state's geography and
proximity to water, both coastal and inland; and
WHEREAS, this issue is a critical concern for our state as Florida has the largest
number of participants in the NFIP with more than 1.7 million policies in force; and
WHEREAS, the NFIP is set to expire on September 30, 2020; and
WHEREAS, a lack of long-term reauthorization causes uncertainty for
beneficiaries and providers; and
WHEREAS, there is still no viable private market for homeowners and businesses
to acquire sufficient flood insurance coverage; and
/
W H E R E A S , accurate mapping is fundamental for local governments to assess and
communicate risk to their communities and property owners; and
WHEREAS, the current mapping process often results in local governments
having to fight inaccurate maps that do not take into account locally built flood protection
features and communities building off of outdated mapping, which results in artificially
inflated risk; and
WHEREAS, further, many areas of the country are not mapped or mapped
accurately, which results in communities not being aware that they are at risk of flooding;
and
WHEREAS, it is incumbent upon all of us to have a long-term, sustainable and
viable NFIP with rates that are affordable; and
WHEREAS, bi-partisan legislation has been introduced in the U.S. House of
Representatives and the U.S. Senate, titled the National Flood Insurance Program
Reauthorization and Reform Act of 2019 ("NFIP-RE"), H.R. 3872 and S. 2187, which
would reauthorize the NFIP program for five years; and
WHEREAS, NFIP-RE includes provisions to cap annual rate increases to 9
percent, fund resiliency and mitigation programs, and modernize mapping; and
WHEREAS, FEMA was scheduled to launch a new risk rating system called Risk
Rating 2.0 to address deficiencies in the traditional mapping process that was originally
scheduled to go into effect October 1, 2020; and
WHEREAS, FEMA postponed the launch of Risk Rating 2.0 until October 1, 2021,
to allow additional time to conduct a comprehensive analysis of the proposed rating
structure to protect policyholders and minimize any unintended negative effects of the
transition; and
WHEREAS, in order for local governments to help their communities and property
owners to adequately prepare for risk, Congress should provide additional resources to
FEMA to utilize the best technology and methods available to improve the mapping
process, including seeking the input from local government officials prior to approving any
flood map that could impact local zoning rules.
