The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a program created by the U.S. Congress in 1968 through the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968. The NFIP's aims are to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures by providing affordable insurance to property owners and by encouraging communities to adopt and enforce floodplain management regulations.
