Guest Speaker: Robert Jones with FEMA

Robert Jones

Our guest speaker for this month was Robert Jones with FEMA, who provided valuable insights on discussing flood insurance with clients. Jones explained that FEMA took charge of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) after private insurers ceased offering policies in high-risk areas. He emphasized the importance of educating buyers and homeowners about flood insurance options and risks.
