In midst of a federal government maelstrom where a shutdown brings a cutoff of services, the National Flood Insurance Program is not exempt from the pinch. When the government’s spending authority is put on hold, home sales within localities known to be at flood risk bear the consequences.  

During a government shutdown, home buyers in these areas are barred from procuring National Flood Insurance Program coverage – something mandated by the majority of mortgage financers.

The real estate activists have emphasized that as soon as the NFLP backing is wiped out, 1,000s of impending property deals are in jeopardy. The private flood markets would then be the lone possibility of related coverage.
