A Message from the NAR President

Having an efficient and effective National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) to protect residential and commercial properties is essential to the purchase and transfer of real property in every state of the union.

I strongly suggest that you ask your Member of Congress to vote for the Flood Insurance Reform and Modernization Act of 2007, HR 3121.

The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) offers essential protection for homeowners vulnerable to flooding and helps lower federal expenditures for disaster recovery. It is critical that flood insurance remain accessible and equitable for every property owner situated in a floodplain.

Floodwaters know no boundaries--virtually every state in the country has experienced significant flooding. According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) floods were the number-one natural disaster in the United States, during the 20th century, in terms of the number of lives lost and property damage.

Sincerely,
Pat V. Combs, NAR President
