Flood Insurance: Compliance Issues and Hot Spots
Join us as we make a deep examination of the flood insurance regulations and interagency questions and answers. We will focus on problematic issues and questions with recommendations for compliant programs.
Compliance with the flood insurance regulations should be easy — determine where the property is, and, if it’s in a flood zone, require insurance. Simple, right? Why then are there so many violations and penalties? The answer, of course, is that this seemingly simple issue has many complexities. The rules have been around since 1996, yet examiners continue to cite numerous violations and fines. Flood is always one of the regulators’ principal areas of concern. We’ve also had many changes in the law over the years. And now, finally, we have updated interagency questions and answers that clarify many points regarding the changes.
There are many significant issues out there. In this webinar, we’ll concentrate on them, including monitoring, contents coverage, private policies, amount of coverage, force placement, and the ever-present condo problem, by talking through sample scenarios and explaining best practices in keeping your portfolio covered.
