With Risk Rating 2.0, FEMA now has the capability and tools to address rating disparities by incorporating more flood risk variables.

With improved technology, FEMA can now help people understand a single property’s flood risk profile. This is a vast improvement to FEMA’S old approach that was limited to static measurements using the blunt instrument of a property’s elevation within a zone on a flood insurance rate map. This current method leads to lower-valued homes paying more than their share of the risk while policyholders with higher-valued homes paying less than their share of the risk.

But with the new Risk Rating 2.0 that also considers rebuilding costs, FEMA can equitably distribute premiums across all policyholders based on home value and a property’s unique flood risk.

The benefit of the new methodology to property owners is that FEMA now has the capability and tools to adapt to future risk by incorporating flood risk variables like multiple flood frequencies beyond 1 percent annual chance events. FEMA also looks at characteristics like distance to a water source, elevation and an industry standard the NFIP is finally adopting: the cost to rebuild.

With these advancements, FEMA’s Risk Rating 2.0, now enables FEMA to set rates that are fairer and ensures rate increases and decreases are both equitable.
