Abstract
The effect on government revenue stems from the question of whether or not the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has reduced the cost to the government of flood events. This was, per Chaps. 1 and 2, a key reason for creating the NFIP. This analysis will refer to the time period from 1996 through 2010, like the other retrospective analyses included in this evaluation.
