77 National Flood Insurance Program Compliance The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) is a pre‐disaster flood hazard mitigation and insurance protection program which has reduced the increasing cost of disasters. The intent of the program is to: require new and substantially improved structures be designed and constructed to minimize or eliminate future flood damage; provide floodplain residents and business owners with financial insurance assistance in the form of insurance after floods; and it transfers most of the cost of private property flood losses from the taxpayers to floodplain property owners through flood insurance premiums. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement be tween communities and FEMA. Currently, McMinn County unincorporated, City of Athens, City of Etowah, and City of Niota are NFIP participants. FEMA has listed these jurisdictions to have a current effective map date as September 28, 2007. Below gives an overview of NFIP policy and loss data for McMinn County. It is important to note, at the time of thi s writing, obtaining current NFIP data for any jurisdiction through FEMA is not possible. All previous means have been disconnected. The data provided below is from 2019. According to the National Flood Insurance Program, repetitive flood loss is defined as a facility or structure that has experienced two or more insurance claims of at least $1,000 in any given 10 year period since 1978. Within the NFIP, repetitive flood loss properties are usually considered the most vital structures to mitigate. The repetitive loss properties are as follows: In City of Athens, 2 residential properties and 2 no n‐residential structures The chart below provides a summary of their NFIP policy and loss data. The first table provides a description of the columns located within the NFIP policy data. Again, this is from 2019 as no other information is available.
