Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FIMA)

The Federal Insurance and Mitigation Administration (FIMA) is a part of FEMA that manages federal assistance programs related to disaster insurance and mitigation efforts. Its role is to help communities prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters like hurricanes, earthquakes, and floods. FIMA oversees the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), encouraging property owners and governments to invest in safer building practices and flood insurance. Its goal is to reduce the financial impact of disasters and build more resilient communities through insurance support and risk reduction initiatives.
