FEMA has a message for Texas households impacted by Hurricane Harvey and who may be participating in Group Flood Insurance Policies (GFIP). These three-year policies end Oct. 24, 2020, so policyholders must plan now to switch to a standard flood insurance policy to ensure continuous coverage.

FEMA will accept either a National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) policy or private insurance to fulfill flood insurance requirements. For more info, call the NFIP Call Center at 1-800-427-4661 or visit https://lnkd.in/edk-sbY to find an insurance agent that sells flood insurance.
