FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0 – “Fundamentally changing the way risk and premiums are calculated”

.

The NFIP is redesigning its risk rating system to better reflect the property’s unique flood risk, it is called Risk Rating 2.0.

.

Risk Rating 2.0 will be implemented on October 2020.

.

The flood premium increases from Risk Rating 2.0 will be above and beyond the 18% – 25% compounded yearly increases that are part of Biggert Waters Act.

.

Your premium will increase if:

.

– Your property is situated near the coast or other flooding source.
– If you live in a higher construction cost state
– If your community/area continues to be overdeveloped without consideration to flooding.

.
