Webinar: California Flood Risk and the National Flood Insurance Program
Nicholas Pinter and Kathy Schaefer from the UC Davis Center for Watershed Sciences will discuss the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), the primary policy vehicle for managing flood risk in the United States. NFIP is facing a number of challenges, including long-term payouts far in excess of premiums, persistent repetitive-loss properties, and failure to address residual flood risk behind levees and other infrastructure.
