Description

The Fed. Emergency Mgmt. Agency (FEMA) and its contractors administer and implement the Nat. Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). NFIP has been designated a high-risk area in March 2006, and as of Dec. 2007, FEMA owed more than $17.3 billion to the Treasury for hurricane-related losses. Concerns have been raised about the financial condition of NFIP and FEMA’s efforts to mitigate losses and monitor NFIP contractors. This report: (1) describes statistical and financial trends for NFIP from 1997 through 2006; (2) assesses the extent to which flood-damaged properties were purchased to mitigate risk; and (3) evaluates procedures for monitoring NFIP-related contracts. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.
