It is important to remember that the NFIP is authorized by law and regulated by the CFR.

There are several flood insurance provisions of 44 CFR that HM Insurance staff reference when performing their duties in a post-disaster environment. These sections cover the regulatory basis of the NFIP.

The next section of this lesson will highlight these sections. While reviewing the highlights, you may want to highlight or flag these sections in a copy of 44 CFR.

The CFR is available online through the HM Disaster Workforce Website or by clicking this link.
