Every year, flooding causes hundreds of millions of dollars worth of damage to homes and businesses across the country. In 2009 flood insurance claims was nearly $618,000,000 with an average paid claim of nearly $27,000, according to FEMA. Most standard homeowner and commercial property insurance policies do not cover floos losses. To meet the coverage needs, the Federal Emergency Managment Agency (FEMA) administers the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The City of Highland Village is currently a participating member in the NFIP program, which allows our residents to obtain flood insurance through the NFIP program.
