Putting it into PersPectiveAgents: Flood insurance training requirements In Section 207 of the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 2004, Congress directed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to work with the insurance industry and state regulators to adopt minimum training requirements for insurance agents selling flood insurance. FEMA published a topical outline in the Federal Register dated September 1, 2005, detailing the minimum course content.
States have each imposed their own flood insurance training requirements. To review your state’s minimum requirement, please go to: www.fema.gov/business/nfip and click on the link to Education and Training – FIRA 2004
Lenders: updated compliance information! In July 2009, federal regulators issued their first joint guidance on flood insurance regulations in more than a decade. “Loans in Areas Having Special Flood Hazards; Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Flood Insurance” was published in the Federal Register on July 21, 2009 in response to the many inquiries that banks and lending institutions had with regard to flood insurance regulations.
The National Flood Insurance Program’s (NFIP) seminars employ the 2009 Interagency Questions and Answers Regarding Flood Insurance as well as FEMA’s Mandatory Purchase of Flood Insurance Guidelines booklet as the springboards to solving the most recurrent flood insurance compliance problems.
H2o Partners – FeMA’s training ProviderIn 2008, FEMA selected H2O Partners’ team of NFIP trainers to conduct flood insurance training nationally for insurance agents, lenders and claims adjusters. Any organization interested in sponsoring flood insurance training should email: [email protected].
