F. NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM (NFIP). The NFIP is a federal program enabling property owners to purchase insurance protection against losses from flooding. This insurance is designed to provide an insurance alternative to disaster assistance to meet the escalating costs of repairing damage to buildings and their contents caused by floods. Until recently, such coverage was generally unavailable from private- sector insurance companies. Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between local communities and the federal government which states that if a community will implement and enforce measures to reduce future flood risks to new construction in special flood hazard areas, the federal government will make flood insurance availablewithin the community as a financial protection against flood losses which do occur. No assistance for any facility will be available in future disasters, unless the required insurance has been obtained and maintained. G. HAZARD MmGATION PROGRAM. Should Fort Walton Beach receive public disaster assistance, it will be required to pursue mitigation measures to help insure against similar damage in the future. 200-  I.
