Planning and Land Management

State of Alaska > Commerce > DCRA > Planning and Land Management > Floodplain Management > NFIP Communities

Participation in the NFIP is based on an agreement between a local government and
the federal government. If the community adopts and enforces a floodplain management ordinance that meets program standards, the federal government will make
flood insurance available within the community at a low cost.

In case of a flooding emergency, communities should contact the State Emergency Coordination Center (SECC) at 1-800-478-2337 or e-mail at secc_response_recovery@ak-prepared.com

Please contact Taunnie Boothby, State Floodplain Management Coordinator for additional information regarding joining the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) or receiving information on risk reduction efforts available to non-participating communities
