What You Need to Know about Federal Disaster Assistance and National Flood Insurance

Floods are the most common, and most costly, natural disaster. Before most forms of Federal disaster assistance can be offered, the President must declare a major disaster. The most common form of Federal disaster assistance is a loan, which must be paid back with interest. Flood Insurance replaces all damaged property whether a disaster is declared or not.
