Be it enacted by the Senate and llouse of ltepresentatiues of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That this Act may be cited as Lhe "Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973". FINDINGS AND DECLARATION OF PURPOSE SEC. 2. (a) The Congress finds that-- (1) annual losses throughout the Nation from floods and mudslides are increas- ing at an alarming rate, largely as a result of the accelerating development of, and concentration of population in, areas of flood and mudslide hazards; (2) the availabiliLy of Federal loans, grants, guaranties, insurance, and other forms of financial assistance are often determining factors in the uLilization of land and the location and construction of public and of private industrial, com- mercial, and residential facilities; (3) property acquired or constructed wibl~ grants or other Federal ass/stance may be exposed to risk of loss through floods, thus frustrating Lhe purpose for which such assistance was extended; (4) Federal instrumentalities insure or otherwise provide financial protection to banking and credit institutions whose assets include a substantial number of mortgage loans and other indel)tedness secured by property exposed to loss and damage from floods and mudslides; (5) the Nation canno£ afford the tragic losses of lif~ caused annually by flood occurrences, nor the increasing losses of property suffered by flood victims, most of whom are still inadequately compensated despite the provision of costly disaster relief benefits; and (6) it is in the public interest for persons already living in flood-prone areas to have both an opportunity to purchase flood insurance and access to more ade- quate limits of coverage, so that they will be indemnified for ~heir losses in the event, of future flood disasters. (b) The purpose of Lhis Act, therefore, is to-- (1~ substantially increase the limits of coverage authorized under the national flood insurance program; (2) provide for the expeditious identification of, and the dissemination of infor- mation concerning, flood-prone areas; (3) require States or local communities, as a condition of future Federal finan- cial assistance, to participate in the flood insurance program and to adopt ade- quate flood plain ordinances with effective enforcement provisions consistent with Federal standards to reduce or avoid future flood losses; and (4) require the purchase of flood insurance by property owners who are being assisted by Federal programs or by federally supervised, regulated, or insured agencies or institutions in the acquisition or improvement of land or facilities located or to be located in iden- tified areas having special flood hazards. December :11, 1975 Ill, Il. 844~,1] Flood Disaster Pro. tection AcL of 1973. NOTICE TO PROPERTY HOLDER Through the use of a new flood plain analysis system and updated flood map information, it has recently been determined that your property lies In a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). The federal law mandates that lending institutions that are 1) federally insured, or 2) use fcdcrally insured home mortgage loan funds, require flood insurance on 'all mortgaged property lying in SFHAs. The applicable federal rules are quoted on the back. Because your property lies In a SFHA and we are a federally insured Institution, It ts necessary that flood insurance be obtained. Flooding Is the largest single cause of property loss from natural disasters. Properties located In a SFHA have a higher risk of damage due to flooding than damage due to fire and other phenomena. This action has been taken, therefore, not only because it ls required by the federal government, but to safeguard your interests as well.
