Abstract
The National Flood Insurance Program (www.floodsmart.gov) began in 1968 and assists in floodplain management and mapping programs across the United States. Flood insurance reduces the damage costs associated with flooding by over a billion dollars each year with an 80 percent reduction in damage if the property owner is covered by the NFIP. Since 1978, the NFIP has paid 26,626 claims in South Carolina, saving the citizens of the state more than $420 million or
$16,000 per claim.
