National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) - Community Enrollment Dataset

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2025

This dataset contains required community information for enrollment in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). Congress created the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) through enactment of the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968 (NFIA) (Title XIII of Pub. L. 90-448, 82 Stat. 476), found at 42 U.S.C. 4001 et seq. The goal of the program is to help mitigate future losses caused by flooding through community enforced building standards. The NFIP is a federal program enabling property owners in participating communities to purchase insurance as a protection against flood losses in exchange for State and community floodplain management requirements that reduce the risk of future flood damages. Communities participate in the NFIP based on an agreement between the community and FEMA. If a community submits Federal Emergency Management Agency Application for Participation in the National Flood Insurance Program, FEMA FORM 086-0-30, O.M.B. Control Number 1660-0004 along with adopting and enforcing a floodplain management ordinance to reduce future flood risk to new construction in floodplains, FEMA will make flood insurance available within the community as a financial protection against flood losses. rnA community submits either an electronic or hard copy of the FEMA NFIP enrollment form 086-0-30 to the State NFIP Coordinator, FEMA Regional Office, and FEMA Headquarters to apply for participation in the National Flood Insurance Program. The enrollment form contains personally identifiable information (PII) for local community officials, including the individual signing and submitting the form. FEMA uses the collected information to maintain contact databases and records relating to local floodplain management. Information collected through FEMA Form 086-0-30 and entered into CIS is covered by the following privacy compliance documents: PIA: DHS/FEMA/PIA – 011 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Information Technology Services (ITS); DHS/FEMA/PIA-050 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) PIVOT System; SORN: DHS/FEMA – 003 National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) Files and DHS/ALL-004 – General Information Technology Access Account Records System (GITAARS).
