Free Webinar: Understanding Risk and Flood Insurance
August 17, 2022
Representatives from Coconino County and FEMA will conduct a free webinar to inform our community about the new flood risk to our neighborhoods and important information about flood insurance.
- Over the past few years, the frequency of wildfires has increased in Coconino County and with that increase comes an increase in the risk of post-wildfire flooding. To help inform property owners about this increased risk and actions they can take to reduce that risk, the Coconino County Flood Control District has provided post-wildfire flood risk and mitigation information.
- One way to reduce your flood risk and help you recover more quickly after a flood is to carry flood insurance. To help you learn more about private and federal flood insurance, the Coconino County Flood Control District and City of Flagstaff are hosting a free one-hour webinar on August 22 at 6:30 pm.
Topics will include:
- Explanation of post-wildfire maps and FEMA flood maps – plus resources
- Overview of FEMA’s National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
- Summary of coverage, availability, limits, requirements and more
- The new way policies are rated (Risk Rating 2.0)
- Private Flood Insurance
- Additional resources
The presenters will be flood insurance specialist Edie Lohmann (FEMA) and Bruce Bender (Bender Consulting Services, Inc.).
