National Flood Insurance Program
and Hurricane Irma
James French-Deputy Director-Growth
Management Division.
National Flood Insurance Program
The NFIP was established in 1968 and is a federal
program managed by FEMA
The NFIP enables homeowners, business owners,
and renters in participating communities to
purchase federally backed flood insurance.
Participating communities agree to adopt and
enforce floodplain management ordinance to
reduce future flood damage.
Collier County has been a voluntary participant of
the NFIP since September 1979.
Partnerships with FEMA and State to
Conduct Inspections
Collier County is partnering with FEMA and the
Florida Department of Emergency Management
–Floodplain Management Office to conduct
damage and flood impact assessments across
the County.
These assessments are required as a part of the
County participation in the National Flood
Insurance Program.
Assessments are done on properties that are
located in the VE, AE, AH and A flood zones.
Inspection Process
Highest priority are those buildings that incurred major damage or were destroyed.
Inspections are limited to the building elements that require a permit, such as the extent of damage to foundations, roofs, window, doors, siding, installed appliances, electrical systems, plumbing, as well as wall and floor finishes.
When completed, homeowners will be informed as to whether their home was “substantially damaged” or not.
Substantially damaged homes must be elevated to meet current Florida Building Code and elevation requirements.
Homes that are determined to be substantially damaged are able to access specific funding sources through FEMA and their flood insurance.
Homeowners that receive a substantial damage letter may contest it through the building permit process.
