Federal Insurance Administration

The Federal Insurance Administration (FIA) is part of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, focusing on managing the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Its primary role is to provide flood insurance to property owners in flood-prone areas, helping them financially recover from flood damage. The FIA also works to improve floodplain management practices and promotes risk reduction strategies to minimize future flood impacts. By doing so, the FIA supports communities in becoming more resilient to flooding and natural disasters, ensuring better preparedness and recovery in the face of such events.
