1. New residential construction or substantial impro\'ement of existing

homes must have the lowest floor level at or above the elevation of the

100-year flood.

proofed to that level.

The 1968 Act benefits O'AllerS of structures already in the flood-prone areas by

providing insurance coverage that had been unavailable through private companies.

The Act created a cooperative program of insurance against flood damage by the

private flood insurance industry and the federal government.

The amount of coverage available and the premium rate vary considerably,

depending on property location \\ithin the flood plain and the property value. All

property owners shown in this study to be \\ithin areas subject to flooding should

consider the purchase of flood insurance.
