The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is offering the Repetitive Flood Claims (RFC) Grant, authorized by Section 1323 of the NFIA. This grant is specifically designed to reduce ongoing flood damages for individual properties that have previously received multiple claim payments under flood insurance coverage. The core purpose of this initiative is to generate the greatest financial savings for the National Flood Insurance Fund (NFIF) as quickly as possible by targeting properties with a history of significant losses. Through this grant, applicants can fund projects or initiatives that directly mitigate future flood risks, including those that leverage geospatial (GIS) issues for improved assessment and intervention. This program aims to protect communities and reduce the financial burden on the NFIF.
