FloodAssist®
If you have customers who may need flood insurance, you need fast, reliable
flood-hazard information. Flood zones change all the time, and trying to
stay in compliance with complex FEMA regulations can be difficult and
time-consuming.
That's why ISO offers FloodAssist® — the online system that helps you accurately determine flood zones and flood risk.

 How many communities in the United States are Class 1 NFIP/CRS communities?
Only
one. That's Roseville, California, and they implemented a
multimillion-dollar improvement project that included flood-protection
activities such as undertaking stormwater projects, creating new berms
and elevating structures, initiating public-awareness efforts, and
building new bridges, culverts, and floodwalls. | |
Here's how it works
ISO
has teamed up with LPS National Flood to provide FloodAssist. The
technology will help you determine a property's flood zone, find other
necessary flood data, and satisfy National Flood Insurance Program
(NFIP) requirements.
You
just enter an address or legal description of the property, and
FloodAssist automatically cross-references digital and hard-copy FEMA
Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs), tax maps, and aerial and satellite
photos to identify the specific location. Within seconds, the system
determines whether the property is in a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA)
and delivers a comprehensive flood report.
Is the property eligible for premium discounts?
FloodAssist
also provides information about communities participating in the
National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (NFIP/CRS) — a
program that assesses communities' ability to mitigate flood damage.
The NFIP/CRS grants flood insurance premium discounts to property owners
in communities that exceed minimum standards for floodplain management.
When you order a FloodAssist report, you get the community's NFIP/CRS
participation status, which indicates whether the community participates
in the regular or emergency program.
Guaranteed reports available
FloodAssist
reports are available with or without a guarantee of accuracy. When you
rely on a guaranteed report, LPS National Flood will compensate you for
any uninsured loss as if an NFIP policy had been in effect, up to the
maximum available limit of insurance.
