The Flood Disaster Protection Act - Understanding the Basics

Monday, June 5, 2023 
2:30 pm – 4:00 pm Eastern

It’s imperative that there are no leaks with your institution’s Flood Disaster Protection Act compliance program. Not only are FDPA civil money penalties frequently issued, but floods do occur across the country. Join us to ensure that your institution’s policies, procedures and training are adequately protecting the institution from flooding risk.

Flood compliance continues to cause institutions to be assessed civil money penalties for violations of the Flood Disaster Protection Act (FDPA) even though the basic regulatory requirements have remained the same for a number of years. Bottom line, adequate flood insurance is required to be in place when a MIRE (Make, Increase, Renew, or Extent) event occurs and the structure securing the loan is located in a special flood hazard area. And, on top of that, if the borrowers drop their flood insurance your institution must force place insurance in a timely manner.

The components of an effective flood compliance management program include timely ordering of the determination; proper calculation of the minimum flood insurance coverage; fulfilling notice requirements; and evaluating flood policies. Join us as we discuss the requirements of the FDPA so that you can ensure there are no leaks in your institution’s flood compliance program.
