Abstract
The National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) rises to the top of the political agenda following major hurricanes and flood events. The program has been through several reform cycles over more than four decades and has been changed or expanded each time. Whether or not this program has provided net benefits to the country or the government is not well understood. This analysis provides the first comprehensive benefit-cost analysis (BCA) at the NFIP and its related programs.
