FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Data

Project Title:  View help for Project Title FEMA National Flood Insurance Program Data

Summary:  View help for Summary The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) aims to reduce the impact of flooding on private and public structures.

The redacted claims dataset provides details on NFIP claims transactions. It is derived from the NFIP system of record, staged in the NFIP reporting platform and redacted to protect policy holder personally identifiable information. This dataset represents more than 2,000,000 claims transactions. In order to improve accessibility, we have one compressed file. 

The Reinsurance data set was developed in support of FEMA reinsurance placement. We are sharing some of the reinsurance placement information with the general public, because it is important for the nation to more clearly understand our shared flood risk.  The data and information was derived in part using catastrophic flood risk models developed by AIR-Worldwide and RMS, two well known risk model developers.  That information may also be useful for the insurance industry, academics, and others in understanding and studying flood risk within the United States. FEMA looks to continue to foster strong private-public partnerships as FEMA, the public, academia, and the private sector work together to improve flood resiliency in the United States.

The Community Layer datasets contain geospatial community boundaries associated with Census and NFIP data. The dataset does not contain personal identifiable information (PII). The Community Layer can be used to tie Community ID numbers (CID) to jurisdiction, tribal, and special land use area boundaries. A geodatabase (GDB) link is Included in the Full Data section below. The compressed file contains a collection of files that can store, query, and manage both spatial and nonspatial data using software that can read such a file. It contains all of the community layers, not just the layer for which this dataset page describes.
