Public flood risk data for homeowners
This bill would require the NFIP Administrator to publish the data, models, and tools used to assess flood risk and set premiums. It would create an open-source electronic system for immediate public access to property-level risk, loss ratios, policy amounts and terms, and claim dates and amounts. The bill would require a searchable community database within one year of enactment showing community compliance, counts of properties built before and after the community's first flood insurance rate map, total claims outside flood zones, number of multiple-loss properties, and the portion of the community in special flood hazard areas (percent and square miles). Data would be provided at the ZIP Code or census-block level and must not reveal individual property owners' identities.
