Levees and Risk Rating 2.0

During this 90-minute webinar, USACE and FEMA will walk through a levee example, starting with data that is available in the National Levee Database and then describe other sources of information that are used to inform NFIP flood insurance rates. FEMA will then explain how levee information and other rating factors are used to determine a policy’s annual insurance premium.
