Flood insurance training is no longer "optional". The Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2012 made several changes. In addition to extending authority for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through 2017, this legislation allowed regulators to increase fines to $2,000 per incident andremoved the annual limit. Congress passed the Homeowner Flood Insurance Affordability Act on March 23rd and revised some parts of Biggert-Waters and eliminated or delayed  some sections. The final rules that were expected in March have been delayed. Attend this session to help train your staff to understand the rules of coverage and the root causes for common violations, including proper completion of the Standard Flood Hazard Determination Form, controls to require adequate flood insurance coverage, and proving that the Notice of Special Flood Hazards was delivered for each type of "triggering" event.
