Flood Insurance Manual
The NFIP Flood Insurance Manual (FIM) is a comprehensive guide for underwriting and managing policies. It outlines rules, procedures, and technical details. You should view it as a primary resource, designed to ensure accuracy and compliance in flood insurance operations.
Although the FIM is highly organized, sections can blend high-level concepts, operational processes, and technical details fluidly, which can be confusing to non-experts. You will explore the FIM with this in mind.

The FIM is organized into sections and appendices. Sections address key topics such as eligibility, rating, and policy changes. Appendices provide supporting details like forms and reference tables.
