UTAH NFIP Flood Insurance Training for Insurance Agents

Flooding is Utah's most destructive–and common–natural disaster.

Of all the natural disasters occurring in Utah, floods consistently carry the highest price tag year after year. Flooding leads to loss of life, property damage and destruction, damage and disruption of communications transportation, utilities, agricultural losses, and interrupt businesses. Furthermore, flooding can release contaminants into water creating health and environmental hazards.

The State’s Division of Emergency Management’s Floodplain Management Programs support Utah’s local communities by providing flood risk studies and maps, and floodplain management best practices. We act as a liaison with FEMA as needed, helping floodplain managers tame their community’s risk through participation in the National Flood Insurance Program.
