Call for Action: National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP)
LOUISIANA REALTORS • June 20, 2018
The National Association of REALTORS (NAR) and Louisiana REALTORS is supporting a national Call For Action
(CFA) beginning June 18th and targeting the United States Senate and House of Representatives to reauthorize the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP).
If Congress fails to take action to reauthorize the NFIP, it will expire by July 31, 2018 and cause issues in the market with transactions. REALTORS are the front line advocates for homeowners and need to respond and get the message out on the Hill.
David McKey is a broker/owner of Coldwell Banker One in Baton Rouge, LA. McKey has served on the NAR Insurance Committee and has worked hard on the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP). This video discusses the importance of responding to the Call for Action and why the reauthorization of the NFIP is so important to homeowners and to the economy.
