The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a rule that identifies communities where the sale of flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) may be suspended. This suspension is due to noncompliance with floodplain management requirements. If communities adopt the required measures before the suspension date, they will remain eligible for flood insurance. Importantly, after June 2021, suspension notices will no longer be published in the Federal Register but will be available online at FEMA's website. Communities receive multiple notifications before a suspension takes effect, ensuring they have ample opportunity to comply with NFIP requirements.

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has issued a final rule concerning flood insurance under the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). The rule specifies that certain communities, which have not complied with floodplain management requirements, are scheduled for suspension, meaning they will lose access to NFIP flood insurance unless they meet the necessary regulations before the specified dates. FEMA provides a resource at fema.gov for individuals to verify the participation status of their community. The rule clarifies that notifications have been given to communities, and suspensions will take effect barring required compliance.
