FEMA has launched an online tool enabling North Carolina residents to purchase flood insurance directly through its website. The new platform streamlines the application process for the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), reducing the need for intermediaries. The initiative follows increased flood risk awareness in the state, particularly after recent hurricane seasons.
The tool allows homeowners and renters in flood-prone areas to compare coverage options, calculate premiums, and complete purchases online. Previously, residents typically worked with insurance agents or local officials to obtain NFIP policies. The digital platform aims to expand access to flood protection, especially for underinsured properties in high-risk zones across North Carolina.
